The French Levant was a French colonial territory located in the Eastern Mediterranean region, comprising part of what is now modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon. The term “Levant” refers to the geographical region encompassing these areas.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, France established a presence in the Levant, primarily as a result of diplomatic agreements with the Ottoman Empire, which controlled much of the region at the time. The French Levant included several administrative divisions, with Syria and Lebanon being the most significant.

The French Levant stamps are of interest to collectors due to their historical significance and the unique designs that often incorporate elements of both French and Levant culture. They provide insights into the colonial history of the region and the complex interactions between European powers and the Ottoman Empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
