The Morez Philatelic Fair

Organized by the Philatelic Society of Morez and Haut-Jura, this collectors' fair brings together enthusiasts of philately and telecards in the community hall of Morez, a delegated commune of Hauts de Bienne. The event is generally held in April, in a friendly atmosphere conducive to exchanges between collectors. Lovers of stamps, old postcards, and telecards meet for a day dedicated to their shared passion.

A Philatelic Heritage in Haut-Jura

The Philatelic Society of Morez and Haut-Jura is an active association that has been bringing together stamp collectors in the region for many years. It regularly organizes exchange fairs and exhibitions to promote philately to the general public and younger generations. The annual fair is an opportunity for collectors to complete their collections, discover rare items, and exchange with other enthusiasts from all over Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and neighboring Switzerland.

What can be found at the fair?

The stands offer a wide variety of items for collectors: French and foreign stamps, old postcards depicting Jura villages, collectible telecards, old coins, and philatelic documents. Exchanges between collectors are encouraged, and the atmosphere is studious yet friendly. Novices are welcome and can receive advice from the association's members.

Morez, capital of eyewear

Morez, now part of the commune of Hauts de Bienne, is famous for its eyewear industry, which has persisted since the 19th century. Nestled in the Bienne valley at an altitude of 700 meters, the town offers a remarkable mountainous setting. Visitors to the fair can take the opportunity to discover the Musée de la Lunette (Eyewear Museum) or the spectacular landscapes of the gorges de la Bienne.
