Scratch & Sniff! - Wednesday, 5 June

 

So, apparently these "scratch & sniff" stamps have been pretty popular!  I went to the post office around the corner to see if they had some, thinking that they'd make a cheap souvenir.  The somewhat exasperated postal worker told me nope, they were gone (or the equivalent in French with the appropriate guttural emphasis!).  Apparently I wasn't the first tourist to ask!

Of course, some individuals more entrepreneurial than moi bought up a bunch and are selling them on eBay!
