Issued by France in 1989, this 2,20F + 0,60F semi-postal stamp commemorates the historic Paris–Lyon diligence (stagecoach) route. The finely detailed engraving captures a classic 19th-century horse-drawn coach, symbolizing the evolution of long-distance communication and travel. Released for Journée du Timbre, the surcharge supported philatelic promotion activities. Its elegant blue monochrome design highlights traditional French engraving artistry. A meaningful addition for collectors of transport, postal history, and French semi-postals.
