France has played a naughty trick on the collectors, when it came to issuing a stamp on "150 Years of UPU" in 2024.
Instead of issuing a dedicated postage stamp to commemorate "150th Anniversary of Universal Postal Union (UPU)", on 14 October 2024, France printed the official UPU150 logo on a souvenir sheet already planned to be issued in the series "European Capitals" for Berne.

The France UPU150 souvenir sheet from France contains 4 stamps of 1.96 Euros each.
Bern is also the headquarters of international organizations such as the Universal Postal Union (UPU), symbolized by the statue of the French sculptor René de Saint-Marceaux. For 150 years, with its 192 member countries, the UPU has brought together the world's postal players to provide a universal network of cutting-edge products and services.
