France | 10 Unique Stamps | 5 Coins | 5 10 20 Centime 1/2 1 Franc | Marianne Sabine | 1977 - 1981 KM79 Young professionalsMarianne, a national emblem of France, is, by extension, an allegory of Liberty and Reason. She represents France as a state, and its values (as opposed to the "Gallic rooster" representing France as a nation and its history, land and culture). She is displayed in many places in France and holds a place of honour in town halls and law courts. She symbolises the "Triumph of the Republic", a bronze sculpture overlooking the Place de la Nation in Paris.
