Chronological listing of official stamps issued by UNESCO (France) in relation to World Cultural Heritage.  Please note that only stamps are listed, not maximum cards or other stationery. Note also that unofficial UNESCO-stamps or souvenir sheets -- issued by postal entities other than the UNESCO -- are not included in this listing, but appear only on the pages to which they are related. 

Stamps issued by UNESCO (France) are only valid for postage mailed out from the special mail boxes in the UNESCO-building in Paris, not from Paris proper, or metropolitan France.
