Issued in 1975, this 0.85 franc definitive stamp from France highlights the region of Picardie (Picardy) as part of the “Blasons et Provinces” series celebrating French regions. Designed by Pheulpin and engraved by Lallemand, the stamp features a stylized red rose set before the outline of Amiens Cathedral’s soaring Gothic spires — a tribute to the region’s historical and architectural heritage. The contrast of blue and red tones evokes both elegance and regional pride, making it a refined addition to any France regional issue collection.
