In some of the French catalogs, deeply back of the book, you will find a category of revenue stamps for licensing radio broadcasters.
These are revenue stamps, but with an art deco flair. They were printed for 1935, 1936, and 1937.
Here is a card using one of the stamps for a broadcaster in the village of Poteilla, near Perpignan.

Attractive stamps. Are these cards proof of an annual fee payment to broadcast on short wave or are they a French equivelent of QSL cards.

I think they are a licence to have a domestic radio receiver “ recepteur de radiodifusion”. Ie what in Uk we called an annual “Wireless licence”.
Like our TV licence it pays for the state sponsored broadcasts ,
So not a transmission licence , and not a QSL

appareils radiophoniques is any type of radio, by translation - but I am not a pro translator but since I have been french Canadian for more than 70 years, that is what comes to mind....but french from FRANCE will vary(a bit) - however the french wording posted was from FRANCE....?? if you google the french word you will end up with "radios"...
