A small mixture of other colonies: French Guinee, Mayotte, some others (?!) and a New Caledonia. Nice cover above!

I have other scans also from 2008 but they are of the same lesser quality of these.

You can see that, depending on what intrigues you or catches your interest, you have many years and designs and colonies and regions of the world to choose from. France, like Britain and many other European countries, was everywhere in the world at one time.

Oh, I can't stop:
Some French Congo leopards and some older French Reunion similar desins:

And as I had my Hyderabad stamps out for another thread, here is a cover not from but to the former French colony of Pondicherry, in Souther India:





Hyderabad was quite close by, though I have no idea why His Exalted Highness the Nizam of Hyderabad wanted to write to M. Monot-Herzen.

Monod-Herzen, please Tony!

Ergo, Pondicherry = Used abroad

@huckles888 : the second cover you show is not a French colony one. "République malgache" is the name of Madagascar after indepedancy (29th june of 1960).

@rod222 : same for your stamps. "République du Tchad" is the name after indepedancy ( 11th August of 1960).
In general, if "RF" or "République francaise" is not mentionned, it is probably after indepedancy of the country.
