The french stamp for the 2018 EUROPA theme "Bridges" is dedicated to the two bridges over the Rhine river, linking France to Germany. The Europe's Bridge (on the right on the stamp), inaugurated in 1960, is the only road bridge connecting Strasbourg in France with the city of Kehl in Germany. The Deux Rives' footbridge (on the left on the stamp), or Mimram footbridge (named after its architect Marc Mimram) was inaugurated in 2004 to connect the two parts of the Deux Rives' garden. The bridge is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, composed of two decks connected in its center by a platform which offers an original point of view on the Rhine river.
The Cover was canceled with a special postmark from the "33e Congress de la Marcophilie Naval" held from 26th to 27th May 2018 in Lyon.
