This is a stamp from 1971, but I have got it on an envelope a month ago. It is dedicated to the commune of Dole, in the Jura (France).
The Place aux Fleurs (='Flowers Square') is located in the heart of Dole. You can find there the Fontaine de l'enfant à l'amphore (='Fountain of the child with the amphora'), created by the sculptor François-Marie Rosset (1743-1824). The sculpture is actually a copy, because it was damaged during the liberation of the city.
This is a post for Sunday Stamps. Today's theme is Statues.
(And let me add a recent post about sculptures on stamps to Sunday Stamps.)
Louis Pasteur était né à Dole, il y a un musée qui lui est dédié :)
