France: Lourdes

On 21st October I got two postcards: one from France and one from Germany.

The card from France shows various views of Lourdes. Lourdes is a town in the Haute-Pyrénées Department. It is one of the most famous and popular Catholic pilgrimage sites in the World due to a claimed Marian apparition in 1858. 

The stamp is from a set of two about Mailboxes (issued 09-10-2021). It is a joint issue with Japan and just a few days before this card I also got one of the Japanese stamps on a card (see here).


Thank You very much William!
