Le Château de Fougères - postcard from France, that I'd like to make into a maximum card! :)



This is an example of a wonderful postcard that could be made into a maximum card.
Did France ever issue a stamp with this castle? Let me know. :)
============
Update: my philatelic partner/friend Eric Contesse says YES, France issued this in 1960:

Thank you, Eric! :)

Now, the tough question is: who can create such a maximum card for me? :)
If not, I might have to go there in person. Oh, well...:)

Happy Independence Day - 4th of July! USA


It is amazing what USA has accomplished in such a short time in history, since 1776!
Probably it's the most formidable country in the history of mankind as we know it.
Yes, there were, there are, and there will be problems and mistakes - some of them quite big - but hey! what country is perfect?
I wish that EVERY country, including my adoptive USA and my native Romania, had politicians and leaders with much more patriotism, throughout history.

My philatelic partner/friend Ye Choh San is probably the most active and passionate online promoter of maximaphily, and he has his own disagreements with some of the FIP rules, such as the interdiction to use real photos instead of postcards.
Please visit often, as I do, his blog and his other specialized websites. :)
