French touristic stamps in a school exam

Today is the first day of the baccalauréat in France, the final high school exam. Three years earlier, students take an other (little) exam : the brevet des collèges, in which some stamps were used in 2004.

In history-geography, students (around 15 years old) must answer questions write two short texts in history or geography, and civic education. Plus one sheet of exercices to verify they know major historic events and geographic locations.

In June 2004, the school regions of Eastern France chose to illustrate this exercise with stamps from the Portraits de régions : la France à voir, depicting monuments and traditional buildings of France.
