The French Republic is situated in Europe and is one of the world’s leading industrial powers.  To the northwest is the English Channel, to the west, the Bay of Biscay, its southern land border is Spain, and to the south east is the Mediterranean Sea.  Its land borders to the east consist of Monaco, Italy and Switzerland and to the northeast Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg.  To the north it has a small sea border with the North Sea.  Its overseas territories consist of French Guyana and several island territories in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.  Its capital is Paris.

The country has seen 4 Republics in charge, the first being under Napoleon in the 19^th century.  Since 1958, the 5^th Republic led by Charles de Gaulle was formed and remains to this day.  About 83 million foreign tourists visit France every year, more than any other country in the world.  It is a highly developed country and a world power.

The first postage stamp series of France was the Ceres series issued in 1849.    These stamps appear regularly on modern commemorative issues.    The Ceres have been redesigned on several occasions over the years, first as the cost was too high.    Even the logo of the French philatelic service used the Ceres head.

 

 

Tête-bêche is a French term which means “tumble” or “head to toe”.  In philately, this term refers to booklet stamps where some of the stamps are printed upside down.  In French philately, this refers to some of the greatest rarities in the world.  The tête-bêche pairs printed between 1849 and 1875 on French stamps were not manufactured in this way intentionally.  They are “plate errors of extreme rarity”.

 

 

 

 

 

The three items pictured above have a 2012 Scott catalogue value of $543 000.
