France: Lisieux

On 16th March I got two postcards: one from France and one from Germany.

The card from France shows various views of Lisieux. Lisieux is a commune in Normandy and the capital of the Pays d'Auge area. The large church is the Basilica of Sainte-Thérèse, a basilica minor. It is the second most important pilgrimage site in France after Lourdes.

The card was cancelled in the philatelic shop in Lisieux. The stamp is from the series about handicrafts and this year deals with the production of artistic glass objects. Issued on 12th February, the stamp is printed with a special foil evoking a look of glass. 


Thank You very much William!
