Paris-The history of chocolate is traced on this new series of 10 French stamps (above right), released in late May. And wait for it: they're chocolate scented. The stamps, for first-class mailing of a standard letter-size envelope in France, cost .56€ (78 cents) each or 5.60€ ($7.87) for a sheet of 10. You can buy them at all French post offices, of course, but you can also acquire them online: http://timbres.laposte.fr/detailarticle.jgi?idCarac=&idGamme=036&idArbo=009&page=1&index=1&idArticle=1109101.
