Conseil de L'Europe - Strassbourg

The Council of Europe (French: Conseil de l'Europe) is an international organisation promoting co-operation between all countries of Europe in the areas of legal standards, human rights, democratic development, the rule of law and cultural co-operation. It was founded in 1949, has 47 member states with some 800 million citizens, and is an entirely separate body from the European Union (EU), which has only 27 member states. Unlike the EU, the Council of Europe cannot make binding laws. The two do however share certain symbols such as the flag of Europe. The Council of Europe has nothing to do with either the Council of the European Union or the European Council, which are both EU bodies. from wikipedia

FRANCE - europa cept 2010

In the second Post this evening i would like to show you the envelope which was sent from France (with the Monaco issue in it! -> look here) 

Not the best stamp ever from France (i mean: the last year issue was definitive more spectacular) BUT i love evry single stamp and envelope which make their way to my mailbox. Merci Beaucoup a Jerome et Emma pour les deux choses manifique!

Date of issue: 09.05.2010

Dora, the young girl sitting on a pile of books, absorbed in her reading, shows us the great concentration of a child reading a book, and at the same time evokes the importance of editorial production for the youth. In the background, the illustrations remind us of some stories from our childhood, such as Cinderella, the Beauty and the Beast, la chèvre de Monsieur Seguin. The contrast between a "realistic" technique (the young girl) and more "illustrative" (the fairy-tales) allows us to make a link between the real and the imaginary...
