Stamps from French Southern and Antarctic Lands and France

I have received some nice mint stamps from France and my first stamps from French Territories in the Antarctic (Terres australes et antarctiques françaises, abbreviated TAAF)!

The French Southern and Antarctic Territories is a French overseas territory consisting of Adélie Land in coastal Antarctica and several islands in the southern Indian Ocean: the Crozet Islands, the Kerguelen Islands, Amsterdam Island and Île Saint-Paul. The territory was created on 6 August 1955, before which all were dependencies of Madagascar.

Sea turtle, Logos of French South and Antarctic Territory, issued on 2015-03-19

I have also received couple of French stamps:

Stamp on cover is The 70th Anniversary of the Mine Clearing Service, issued on 2015-02-20.


Thank You very much Axel!
