Council of Europe

under construction

The Council of Europe, or Conseil de l'Europe, is a legislative group located in Strasbourg, France, established in 1949. It is separate from the European Union, though they both share the same flag.

France began issuing officals for it in 1958. Like the issues for UNESCO, following issues are prominently inscribed REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE or FRANCE, with CONSEIL DE L'EUROPE often blended into the design. 
 * Its first issue was the French 35f Rouen Cathedral stamp overprinted CONSEIL DE L'EUROPE.
