The woman's head you see on all definitive stamps from France since 1944 is the "Marianne". 13 different designs have been made over the years. The first one, in 1944, was named "Marianne d'Alger" and the newest design is named "Marianne de Beaujard" (also named Marianne d'Europe, because she is featured with the European Union stars).

Marianne is an allegory and represents the value of the French Republic.
