The postcard features a rugged and dramatic view of the Chaos of Gavarnie in the Hautes-Pyrénées region of southwestern France. The landscape is dominated by large boulders, steep cliffs, and a winding mountain road that cuts through the rocky terrain. In the background, the towering peaks of Le Taillon (alt. 3,146 meters), La Fausse Brèche, and Le Casque rise majestically, capped with snow. A rushing stream can be seen flowing through the valley, adding to the untamed beauty of this iconic part of the Pyrenees.
The front of the postcard is labeled "Hautes-Pyrénées – Le Chaos de Gavarnie, la Fausse Brèche, le Taillon (Alt. 3,146) et le Casque," providing a detailed description of the major natural features visible in the image. This rugged area is part of the larger Cirque de Gavarnie, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its dramatic natural formations and outdoor activities.
The back of the postcard is blank, with spaces for correspondence and address. The layout is typical of French postcards from the early 20th century.
