French Guiana

South America-French Guiana-Kourou  The European Space centre . Plenty of rockets and the museum is good. Still not quite the same when only use for payloads and no people from here into space. 

It is a pity , that the cancellation only says France and not French Guiana, but this is what you get. Stamps were from a Miniature sheet in relation to the First World War. 

South America-French Guiana-Iles du Salut  Quite a lot to see here besides the gaol. Loads of monkeys and birds. A nice day trip from Kourou. 

All the above cards were posted at the Post office in Kourou. A large modern office . 

Cayenne- French Guiana

South America-French Guiana-Cayenne  Seems strange being in Euroland yet being in South America. The city itself was bigger then I had thought. Sort of old world colonial with French style buildings. Had some great French food and was cheaper then France so a pleasant surprise .

Postmark a bit hard to see but it is blue on the left side. It has France with the postal area number. The Post office here just wanted me to buy stickers from a machine and sent me in that direction. I had to get the manager to explain I wanted "standard " stamps. When they finally did understand they had a full selection of stamps in a book These stamps were part of a Souvenir sheet . 

French Guiana

 Welcome to Europe in South America.  A part of France and the EU.  I had no expectation of French Guiana but enjoyed Cayenne and Devils Island. Some good wildlife.  The Space Centre in Kourou was less then exciting.  The last photo is the main post office in Cayenne.
