Place Edmond Desailloud / Rue du Lyret Chamonix, France 12/31/14: Gone.
The Chamonix Valley is nestled between the towering Mont Blanc range to the south and the Aiguilles Rouges Mountains to the north. It’s the place where the first Winter Olympic Games were ever held. It also offers the longest cable railway in the world. Chamonix is a close distance to the highest peak in Europe - Mont Blanc 15,771 feet in height.
Three retired designs. All have "Chanmonix Mont Blanc" on the front with a border that starts with PR and then a series of dots.
