France: Corrèze

On 2nd February I got a postcard from France.

It shows various places in the Corrèze department in Southwestern France. Named after a river, its capital is Tulle (lower left corner), while Brive (middle) is the most populated commune. Corrèze was one of the original departments created during the French Revolution in 1790 and two French Presidents, Jacques Chirac and François Hollande, are connected to the department. 

The card was cancelled in the philatelic shop in Tulle and as you can see it had travelled for a rather long time. Cancelled on the last day of 2020, the wonderful French Beethoven stamp (issued 26-10-2020) was used on it. In a Review and Overview of the Beethoven 2020 Stamps on my history blog I selected this one as my favourite.

Thank You very much William!
