France: Eiffel Tower

On 14th December I got a postcard from France.

It shows some old views of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The stamp commemorates the 500th anniversary of the Christmas Tree tradition in the Alsatian city of Sélestat (issued 22-11-2021). Like many recent French stamps this one looks even better in real life than it does on a picture. Some baubles on the tree are treated with vanish and the numbers in the upper right corner are printed with gold foil. 


Thank You very much William!
