Stamped posters in Paris metro (part 2)

Today, two another posters from the Transilien commercials (first part here).

Before that, a better view of the obliteration in the Italian version:

The imaginary German tourist tells his visit at the house of Van Gogh, in Auvers-sur-Oise (where he went by a Transilien train).


Cancellation with a double-circle date mark and ondulations.

The young English fellow, Matthew, enjoyed his tour in the Miniature France parc, in Élancourt.


This poster made me see that some of the scene actualy take place in the destinator's home : here the card is hung on the fridge.

The cancellation doesn't give the town of origin, just the département.


Apparently, these posters are glued at stations of lines 2 and 12 around Pigalle. I catched two (English and Japanese) in Saint-Paul on line 1 (but not between Franklin Roosevelt and Concorde on the same line). Little and vertical ones, under glass, are visible in the RER station in Gare du Nord.

The creator of the pictures knows cancellations : outside the one for Versailles in the Japanese version, they are all possible nowadays in France. Nonetheless, for the Japanese one, Yvon Nouazé strikes that the error to use what seems to be the date mark of a franking machine, is partly corrected with the use of ondulations, and not the postal value mark.

About this quest of the stamped posters, I will follow some new paths and hope of new discoveries.
