This cover is from the Cathedral in Evreux, France. The postage is printed on the envelop and shows the reliquary of St Taurin, bishop 375-425 AD. The cathedral has a long and complex history. The cachet on the cover shows the interior of the cathedral facing the west gallery, including the organ. This site includes a stoplist. The instrument was completed in 2005. Elements of the cathedral date from the 11th century. There was a re-furbishment which was completed in 1896. Bombing during World War II destroyed stained glass which was replaced by 1953.
