           REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO

When hearing Congo what comes to mind is Democratic Republic of Congo. But this is Republic of the Congo. Both are different.

The Republic of the Congo, also called Congo-Brazzaville, is a central African nation with rainforest reserves that are habitats for gorillas. Its capital city, Brazzaville, lies across the Congo River from Kinshasa, the capital of neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo. Brazzaville's highlights include traditional craft markets and the mid-20th-century Basilique Sainte-Anne, with a green-tiled roof and spire.

French Congo included Congo Brazaville. This card is postmarked on 14 October 2019 in Brazaville.
