France: L'Épau Abbey

On 27th January I got a postcard from France.

It shows the L'Épau Abbey. The L'Épau Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey founded by the English queen Berengaria of Navarre in 1229. Berengaria was at first buried in the abbey before her remains where moved to nearby Le Mans. 

This card was sent from a philatelic shop in Le Mans. Beside three Marianne stamps there is a stamp about the 400th birthday of Molière (issued 17-01-2022). Molière was a French playwright, actor, and poet who is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the French language and World literature. Czechia, Liechtenstein and Monaco also issued stamps for his birth anniversary this year.


Thank You very much William!
