Interesting thread here.
Thanks also to those who added the different links as well. They are really full of useful information for the serious French postal history collector.
Even though I do not collect France or the postal history of it per se, I know I have French stamps with some of these old cancellations on them.

Here is an image I saved off of Delcampe with air usage in 1936 to Argentina. The price went too high for me.  |

So the dotted hexes were for rural locations?
Thank you for the link.
Time to relearn some French!

I do not know a lot about them, I just collect what looks good to me.  I think many others here know. That link is fascinating indeed. I could spend hours on there. |

fifia, your cancel is actually a precancel. Yvert lists two types, but I always have to look them up... |

The more recent French pre-cancels have Affranch ts on them which is short for affranchissement. An earlier version  |

A couple more cancellations. One from 1985 and in 1902.   |

Yes this an interesting thread even though I'm not really into French stamps. I do have this cover though from 1863 with 3 different postmarks.  I'm not sure about the number. Is it 30 ?  Except for Paris and the date, I can't make out the rest.   |

The place name looks like
PETITE-RUE-DU PAC
to me but Google doesn't bring that up. Maybe too old, renamed, changed, built over? |

I concur on Rue du Bac. You can just see the starting of the lower arm on the B. On French Wikipedia, under Rue Dupin, I found, and Google translated (with errors) to: Quote:
History
Cette voie existait en 1625. This way there in 1625. Précédemment nommée petite rue du Bac ; antérieurement, rue du Petit Bac et plus anciennement, rue du Baril Neuf. Formerly known as small rue du Bac, previously, rue du Petit Bac and oldest, rue du Baril Nine. Quote:
Dupin Street is a street located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris . |

Thanks Cjd and Puzzler for that fine detective work. Perhaps I should call you guys Inspector Clouseau and Commissaire Maigret.  |

Here we are on the way to the next stamp bourse in Paris:  There is a book with the Post Office on Dupin Street in the title (not sure if it about the actual Post Office though?):  |
