1170*oFrance collection from used classics to mint 2006 in several different albums, binders and boxes. Oddly organized by time and topic (famous Frenchmen, the monuments of France, etc.).

The earlies suffer from condition problems while the modern mint suffers from excessive use of clear tape. Still many useful stamps present, just not where you expect them to be.Cat.
