Marianne de Beaujard, Definitive Stamp

France · 2008 · Lettre Prioritaire 20g

This definitive stamp features the 'Marianne de Beaujard', an allegorical representation of the French Republic. The design, created by Yves Beaujard, portrays a modern and youthful Marianne with flowing hair, looking towards the future. This version was selected by President Nicolas Sarkozy and was used for priority mail within France.

The 'Marianne de Beaujard' series was introduced in 2008, continuing the long French tradition of using the figure of Marianne on definitive postage stamps since 1849. Each new presidency often introduces a new design, reflecting the contemporary artistic and political spirit.
