MARTINIQUE - Port de France

 A happy mailbox day, another card from Martinique,  Thanks Garth for the swap.


"Fort-de-France is the capital of the Caribbean island of Martinique, a French overseas territory. It’s known for colonial architecture, ornate iron balconies, tropical flowers and beaches. La Savane park has a statue of Napoleon I’s wife Joséphine, a native of the island. Exhibits at the Martinique Museum of Archaeology and Prehistory focus on the island’s history, especially the pre-Columbian period."

MARTINIQUE - Fort de France

What a great start to a new year, I've received a card from a new country/island or stamp issuing # 167.

Thank you so much, Sammy for my first ever postcard from Martinique! It is an island located in the eastern Caribbean Sea, as being a French overseas region, Martinique uses French stamps.
