Revenue Stamps: There are five 20-Franc "Timbre Fiscal" stamps affixed to the right side, canceled with a purple hotel handstamp. These were used for tax purposes on official receipts.
Multilingual: The hotel's policy statement at the bottom—"Accounts should be settled weekly"—is printed in French, German, and English, reflecting the international clientele of the Champs-Élysées district.
Historical Context: Given the price points in the thousands of Francs and the specific tax stamps, this likely dates to the post-WWII period before the introduction of the "New Franc" in 1960.
