This charming French semi-postal stamp issued in 1997 features a teddy bear flying through a starry sky in a golden star-shaped aircraft carrying gift packages, symbolizing generosity and holiday giving. The additional surcharge (0.60 +) supported humanitarian activities of the Red Cross, indicated by the red cross symbol on the stamp. Designed with warm festive colors and a child-friendly illustration, the issue reflects France’s long tradition of charity stamps combining postal use with social welfare support. Its appealing thematic design makes it popular among collectors of Red Cross, charity, and children-themed philatelic material.
