France Cover with Sc #33 - 20c Napoleon, Rouen to Toulouse

The seller who sold this to me listed this as Rousen, but it looks like it's from Rodez

You can find all the numbers (Gros Chiffres) for the towns here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_bureaux_de_poste_fran%C3%A7ais_class%C3%A9s_par_oblit%C3%A9ration_Gros_Chiffres

I also got this comment from a twitter user: It is said, I don't know if it's true, that when a stamp bearing the effigy of Napoleon III was stuck upside down, it meant his disapproval of the political regime in place


France 1856 Folded Letter Sc #15a - 20c Napoleon III St Etienne to Mulhouse
