France · 2007 · Lettre prioritaire 20g
This definitive stamp features the 'Marianne des Français' (Marianne of the French), a modern interpretation of the national symbol of France. The design, by Thierry Lamouche, portrays Marianne with a Phrygian cap and a tricolor cockade, symbolizing liberty and the Republic. This version was part of a long-running series of definitive stamps used for everyday postage.
Issued under President Nicolas Sarkozy, this Marianne series continued the French tradition of using the allegorical figure on definitive postage, a practice dating back to the Second Republic.
