Laetitia Casta is also the current model for
Marianne, the spirit of
France and the
revolution. It is her
face and, er,
other features that are currently adorn all French
stamps and
public buildings.
I had originally stated that she also appears on coins and notes, but Alex-k said : "Marianne (hence Casta) can be seen in official buildings and stamps, but not on money. Well, Marianna *is* on the money, but not the Casta version, because money isn't changed everytime there is a new Marianne". So now you know.
