France – Le Moulin-Rouge, le Lapin agile, le Moulin de la Galette or the Bateau-Lavoir became the symbols of a time and a bohemian, satirical and subversive cultural effervescence in Montmartre that would mark both the history of painting – With, in particular, the appearance of cubism – as that of music and literature. Today, Montmartre continues to live in a way slightly different from the rest of the capital. In 2017, Montmartre hosts the Philatelic Spring Salon.

Extract from the philatelic document

The postage stamp is composed of the basilica seen from the top of the stairs of this imposing staircase over which it dominates, on the right one sees the mill of Galette.
