Un grand Merci, Jean-Pierre, pour ce belle enveloppe enluminée.

The 1,80E stamp, used by Jen-Pierre, belongs to the series "Métiers d'art", being dedicated to the artist specialising in Illuminations, le Enlumineur,  was issued on 02OCT2013.

The stamp is postmarked from le Carré d'encre, La Poste's specialised philatelic and writing supplies, located in Paris. 

Inside the envelope I could also find a much appreciated postcard celebrating Louis Blériot, the first man to fly over La Manche, from Calais to Dover, in 1909.
