cover from France

When I was on holidays I got not only two postcards from France but also a cover.

Used on the cover was a magnificient souvenir sheet about the Notre Dame de Paris (issued 20-07-2020). As most of you will already know, last year the Notre Dame was badly damaged by a fire. To go along with the reconstruction stamps will be issued over the next years. This is the first in this new series. 


Inside was a single mint stamp about Olympe de Gouges (issued 29-06-2020), a French person of the Enlightenment who is famous for her Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen of 1791. Like I already mentioned earlier for the EUROPA stamp some French stamps were delayed due to Covid-19. Both the Notre Dame and Olympe de Gouges were affected, as they were originally planned for April.


Thank You very much William!
