When I was on holidays I got two postcards from France.
One of them shows various views of Châlons-en-Champagne. Châlons-en-Champagne is a city in the Grand Est region of France. Until 2015 it was the capital of the region Champagne-Ardenne, which was merged with Alsace and Lorraine to form the new region Grand Est on 1st January 2016, and today it is still the capital of the Marne department, although Reims is more than four times larger. Two famous buildings in the city include the Saint Etienne's Cathedral (upper left corner) and Notre-Dame-en-Vaux (lower right corner). The latter is even on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1998 as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France.
The stamp is the French Euromed issue for this year (issued 13-07-2020) and is dedicated to the Bouillabaisse. Also take a look at the two different postmarks. While the left one shows the correct date but no city name, the right one mentions the city, but says 10th November 2015.
Thank You very much William!
