# 469 - Lighthouses of France on Sri Lanka stamp.

 













This stamp was issued by Sri Lanka Post on 27.10.2023 is one of two stamps issued to commemorate  75th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relation between Sri Lanka & France. The other stamp features the famous Sigriya Rock in Sri Lanka.

Thanks to my friend Jaap from Netherlands, I was informed that this stamp features Mount Saint  Michel which is a famous fortified abbey  in France, and that a lighthouse existed there  between 1881 - 1904.

I prepared the cover my self and self posted.
