A clean pair of classic French definitive stamps from the Marianne de Béquet series, one of the most iconic postal designs of the 1970s. Issued by France, this set features the stylized profile of Marianne, symbol of the Republic, rendered in crisp white linework against bold solid backgrounds.
The 1,00 franc red and 0,80 franc green values represent mid-period denominations commonly used for domestic and international rate combinations. Designed by Claude Béquet, these stamps are prized by collectors for their minimalist modernist aesthetic and their key place in French postal history.
These examples show strong colour, clear impressions, and full perforations—excellent for any definitive-series specialist or Europa-thematic collection.
