It’s another way to shine Chartres (Eure-et-Loir) nationally or internationally. On the occasion of the launch, this Saturday, April 30, 2022 of the new edition of Chartres in lights and the illumination of 21 heritage sites in the Beauceron capital, La Poste and the City have joined forces to reserve a nice surprise for lovers of stamps and Chartres!
What monuments in Chartres?
A collector of stamps on Chartres in lights is published by La Poste with eight stamps which illustrate unmissable illuminated sites in Chartres. You can find there, of course, the royal portal of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres, the Théâtre de Chartres, the Halle Billard or the Pont Gloriette in the joyful colors of the event.
Already in 2016, La Poste had published a collector of this type, and, proud of this success, did not hesitate to reproduce, six years later, a new unprecedented operation.
This collector allows the general public to dive into a colorful magical universe and discover the city of Chartres in clothes of light.
Please note, this is a limited edition!
The new collectible Chartres in lights was printed in the Dordogne, in a workshop where 500 million other stamps are printed. It will be printed in a limited edition, at 5,000 copies.
To get it, this piece which will delight collectors, lovers of Chartres or those who simply wish to add value and special attention to their mail, the collector will be available in all post offices in the department of Eure-et-Loir and with your postman.
Postcards
With this stamp collector, 3,000 postcards from Chartres will be published and made available to tourism stakeholders in the capital of Eure-et-Loir. So, who will be lucky enough to have one of these souvenirs?
Pilgrims will be entitled to their stamp!
Ahead of the Pentecost pilgrimage to Notre-Dame de Chartres cathedral, the Notre-Dame de Chrétienneté association procured 700 of these La Poste collectors’ items. The objective: to distribute a Chartres stamp to each pilgrim who takes part! A beautiful memory !
