To open my mailbox like someone opening a surprise box and to feel the pleasure of discovery unleashed by an envelope decorated with stamps.
To be part of the world and also to discover it this way, with the help of those who share this vision.

Another fine cover from Rolan, this time centre staged by the winner stamp of the 2019 Euromed (Postal Union of the Mediterranean) Stamp design competition.


The theme of for the 2019 Euromed Stamps was “Costumes of the Mediterranean”. The French stamp, denominated at 1,30€, depicts three dancing ladies dressed in the traditional woman’s costume of Arles, a Commune located in the South, in the Camargue region, for ever associated with the most prolific and troubled phase of Vincent van Gogh's life.

To attain the 1,50€ international 20g priority mail tariff in force in France in 2021, Rolan used the two 0,10€ stamps on the left side, part of the definitive “Marianne l’engagée” series,  issued in 2018.
