When I was on holidays I got two postcards from France.
One of them shows various views of Chaumont. Chaumont is the capital of the Haute-Marne department. In 1814 Austria, Prussia, Russia and the United Kingdom signed an offensive treaty against Napoleon Bonaparte in the city. An interesting monument in the city is the Viaduct of Chaumont, one of the most important viaducts constructed in the 19th century.
Andrée Chedid, a French poet and novelist, is shown on the stamp, which was issued for her birth centenary on 23rd March 2020. It got cancelled with the typical special postmark of French philatelic shops, so Chaumont this time.
Thank You very much William!
