Is There Anything More French?

I had seen this stamp online, and Fabienne was thoughtful enough to send it to me. Plus, on a hand-made envelope that perfectly match with the theme.

Outside France, the baguette is often considered a symbol of French culture. It is curious to know that there are some myths associated to its origin. 

14 Juillet 1789

French stamp issued on 12 July 1972, designed and engraved by Albert Decaris.

14 Juillet

This envelope to Philippe (France) is my first attempt of sending mail related to the French National Day or Bastille Day, celebrated on 14 July. I tried even to find a French-like stamp: it is not a Gallic rooster, but it is a rooster! I must say that the result was more naïf that I expected.
