FRANCE


A nice cover from France, depicting a miniature sheet celebrating the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, which its part of the UNESCO site called "Paris - Banks of The Seine". From the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower, from the Place de la Concorde to the Grand and Petit Palais, the evolution of Paris and its history can be seen from the River Seine. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame and the Sainte Chapelle are architectural masterpieces while Haussmann's wide squares and boulevards influenced late 19th- and 20th-century town planning the world over. All this complex is inscribed at Unesco World Heritage sites since 1991.
