Gracinha sent be a card from Nantes, France, showing the cathedral, the Louis XVI column, Saint-Pierre Gate and Montaudouin House. Nantes Cathedral or the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, is a Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral. The construction of the cathedral began in 1434, on the site of a Romanesque cathedral, and took 457 years to finish, finally reaching completion in 1891. - in: wikipedia
