General Info: Block CNEP from France 2015

 

CNEP = French Chamber of Dealers and Experts in Philately.  Sorry if the translation is not accurate,  but I think that you get the idea.

The Salon Philatélique d´Automne take place in Paris between 05 and 08 of november.  The CNEP organize this event and La Poste like previous years, issues these special blocks dedicated to these meetings.

You can get these blocks from the stores associated to the CNEP or if you attend to the Salon.  They are not for sell by La Poste.

This year Saint Pierre et Miquelón is the special guest and it will have a special block.  You can see it up here.

A great view of Pointe aux Canons.
