The 2010 Europa theme was Children Books and so Phil@poste issued on May 9, 2010 a single stamp (0.70 €). The stamp illustrates a girl engrossed in reading a book and sitting on a pile of books, and surrounded by famous children characters: The Beauty & the Beast and Cinderella.
The 0,56 € stamps depicts the renowned comic book character Astérix. This stamp, issued on December 3, 2009 with a very nice souvenir sheet, commemorates the 50th anniversary of this very much-appreciated children character. Designed by Albert Uderzo, the plot shows how Astérix, along with his friend Obélix, the latter's pet Dogmatix and the rest of their Gaul village, resist Roman occupation.
On the occasion of the 84th Congress of the Fédération Française des Associations Philatéliques (10-13 June 2011, Metz), La Poste issued the 0,58 € stamp, with a vignette, on the top right of the envelope. Three landmarks are illustrated on the stamp and the vignette: the Saint-Stephen Cathedral and the Protestant Temple Neuf (stamp) and the Medieval City gate - or Porte des Allemands (vignette).
Lastly, we have a stamp designed by Pierre Albuisson which portrays the ruins of the Gaul temple of Janus and two statues from the Saint-Lazare cathedral which can be seen in the background. The commune of Autun, in the Saône-et-Loire department, in eastern France, is home to all of these iconic figures.
Thank you very much Eric! :D
