It is an administrative copy of an occupation permit for public land, issued to an individual, Jean Cruciani, in L'Estaque-Plage, a district of Marseille. The document is typewritten on official letterhead, with visible stamps and handwritten annotations, typical of French administrative archives from the first half of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top part of the document displays the header \"PRÉFECTURE BOUCHES-DU-RHÔNE\" and the mention \"RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\". The precise date of May 10, 1939, is also distinguishable, placing this document just before the Second World War. Two blue fiscal stamps are affixed on the left, attesting to its authenticity and its conformity with the administrative procedures of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main text, perfectly legible, details the purpose of the order: the renewal of an occupation permit for a hut used for commercial purposes, on L'Estaque beach in Marseille. It is mentioned that the location should be \"tinted pink\" and have no advertising on the hut's panels. Several signatures, seals, and handwritten annotations are visible, reinforcing the official and administrative nature of the document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper shows a slight patina due to age, particularly on the edges, but the overall visual condition remains good, with no major tears or stains apparent on the visible side. The dated stamps, notably that of August 4, 1939, and the handwritten mentions attest to active administrative use at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of document is a valuable witness to the management of public land in France in the 1930s, particularly in the Bouches-du-Rhône department and the city of Marseille. It will interest anyone looking for archives, old administrative documents, or elements of regional heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed document, sold as is.
