This French postage stamp, issued in 1960, features the historic ramparts of Vannes, a fortified town in Brittany, beautifully depicted under illumination. Designed by artist Paul-Pierre Lemagny and engraved by Jules Piel, the deep blue engraving highlights the medieval towers, walls, and surrounding townscape. It was part of France’s “Tourism” series showcasing regional landmarks. The 0.30 franc denomination served standard domestic postal rates during its period of circulation. A fine example of mid-20th century French intaglio engraving, this stamp appeals to collectors of French regional history, architecture, and engraved issues.
