Inscription.   Editée en 1905, cette carte postale scritor est signée en 1909 par «Lucienne». Cette dernière n'était autre qui fille de Joseph Leblond, instituteur du village à qui nous devons la monographie descriptive du village de Roissy-en-France rédigée à la fin du XIXème siécle. Une oevre de référence.

Route nationale, entrée sud du village. Un oeil averti trouve encore des marques d'un passe agricole. Ce porche, le dernier de cette importance, an el un belle example. «Tous ceux qui visitèrent Roissy dans le passé, ou même ceux qui ne tirent que le traverser en diligence, le trouvèrent attachant» - Eugènd Soitel - in Roissy dans le passé. Cette route est la plus chargée d'histoire du village. Elle a été empruntée par toutes les invasions et les années liberatrices de la France.

Published in 1905, this hand-written postcard was signed in 1909 by «Lucienne». She was none other than the daughter of Joseph Leblond. He was the village's school teacher, to whom we owe the monograph describing the village of Roissy-en-France, written at the end of the XIXth century and which is a work of reference.

The southern entry into the village. A trained eye will still find remnants of its agricultural past. This porch, the last remaining one of this size, is a fine example. «All who visited Roissy in the past, even those who merely passed through on the stagecoach, found it appealing» Eugène Soitel - in «Roissy dans le passé» . This road is the most historical of the village. It has been used by all the invasions and the liberating armies of France.
