Who is Marianne?

Marianne is a symbol of the Republic of France. A Marianne is a bust of a proud and determined woman wearing what is known as a Phrygian Cup. She symbolises the attachment of the common citizens of the revolution to the Republic – Marianne is liberty, egality and fraternity.

Marianne has been used on most definitive stamps issued since 1944, as well as several commemorative issues. When Marianne is not clearly wearing a Phrygian cap, as is the case on some Marianne stamps, she is known as ‘the Republic’
