Trying to ID the place of cancel in this weak strike on a French stamp. Looks to me like it says LGORGE, but I've not found such a placename. The next step was to try the department, but only a fraction of it shows at bottom. That name seems to end with the letter C. BUT I find no French department whose name ends with C. Can someone help me please? My thanks in advance for any succor.

Valgorge in the Ardèche, I'm guessing?

Sounds like a pretty good guess to me. Could be that the HE got lost in that weak strike at bottom. Many thanks!

AHA! Now I think I can see the faint HE after the department name!

Nice little stamp. Sort of timely with the balloon hijinks going on right now in the U.S.

Every time I get a place-cancel identified it feels like I have vicariously visited that town. And it also makes that stamp really meant for real postal duty and not just something made to sell to us stamp-collectors. Thanks again for your help.
