My third French cover of the day  flew in to Portugal from Clamecy, a small town not to distant from the French Capital, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, having to its credit the fact that it was the birthpalce of Romain Rollan, the Nobel of Literature laureate of 1015. Thanks a lot jean-Pierre, for such a beautiful cover.

The cover is adorned with the beautiful souvenir sheet of the 2021 edition of the  "Trèsors de Notre Dame" (Treasures of Notre Dame) stamp, an annual emission highlighting the many wonders of that most famous of all French churches. 

The series, which began in 2020 with a rectangular stamp dedicated to the intricate facades of the cathedral, is continued this year with a circular 1,5€ stamp showcasing the Adam and Eve stained glass window, one of the very few original stained glass panels of the cathedral that have survived the rigors of both time and man.
