France: Angers

On 3rd February I got a postcard from France.

It shows the Angers Cathedral. Angers is a big city in western France. It was the cradle of the Plantagenet dynasty and became one of the intellectual centers of Europa during the reign of René of Anjou in the 15th century. Today it is the seat of the Community Plant Variety Office, an agency of the European Union administering a system of plant variety rights, a form of intellectual property right relating to plants.

The stamp shows Daniel Boulanger. Boulanger was a French novelist, playwright, poet and screenwriter who also played secondary roles in films. Unfortunately I have not seen any of his movies. The stamp was issued on 24th January 2022, which would have been Boulanger's Birth Centenary.

Thank You very much William!
