France Cancellations - Show And Tell

After looking the great posts on the Austro-Hungarian postmark thread, how about one for the many varied cancels from France.
The excellent Marcophilie (French) site is a great place to start for those wanting to know more.

I'll start with a few.

Losange petit chiffre (small numbers) 1896 Marseille



Paris star bureau 2 Rue St. Lazare



An unidentified Losange with a London PAID received in red



An 'Estrangero Barcelona' used for delivery on the ship routes via Barcelona.



A Gros Chiffre in red which is uncommon - likely 532 Bordeaux

List of GC in red

Interesting cancels. I'll have to hit the scanner...

New Years Cancels.
Example number 47

I was going to post this as a cover for November 2nd, but thought I'd post it here, too. Can anyone translate the slogan cancel? It loosely translated (per Google) to something like "Place Stamp on Back of Envelope" (?)

en haut & à droite de l'enveloppe means upper right [corner] of the envelope

[edit: By the way, Theodora Larocque might be an interesting person. Assuming your addressee is the Theodora Larocque, she wrote at least one book, acted in at least one Broadway play, and was married to General Patton's aide de camp, Charles Codman (an even more interesting person). Their son married a princess from the House of Murat. If it is her.]

"Place the stamp in the upper left-hand corner."

upper left = en haut à gauche, no?

It is. I have a hundred or so covers between her and Charles Codman both before and after their marriage, including some addressed to interesting personalities of high society and covers from clubs and/or hotels that were reserved for the upper class society of that day.

I've done some research on it, quite an interesting family.

New Years Cancels.
Example 116

Some newspapers had a stamp on the paper before printing so became overprinted with the news.

Since there seems to be quite a bit of interest in French cancels, I submit these six examples:

For new readers, wt1's cancel "MB" = mobile box

One for Puzzler. Afraid I'm clueless about when or why the hex cancels were used.

Found some more for Puzzler. Hexes with dots. Sorry to say I didn't notice these before.

Thank you!

Here is a link to the Marcophilie (cancel collecting) French site (in French):

Click on 'Aide à l'identification par la forme' (second from last) to see cancels arranged by shape (or forme).

I believe that different shapes were used at different times to denote different types of post offices or different types of conveyance or transportation, such as maritime (packet boats)(paquebot), railways (convoyeur lignes), pneumatic underground mail, airmail, etc. There are also different cancels for telegraph usage (some hexagons here also).

On some hexagon cancels, the railway types, (our RPOs or Britain's TPOs), you would see the 'A' between place names, such as Here A There, where on North American RPOs you have Here & There.

Please excuse my not using the correct accents and grauve? marks over appropriate letters.
