thumb|An example of French: papier timbré from 1677In Ancien régime France, French: '''papier timbré'''|i=no (pronounced as /fr/; 'stamped paper') was paper with a special revenue stamp that was compulsory for all authentic acts (i.e., documents used in law, such as wills, sale contracts and vital records).[1] The tax on it, known as the French: '''timbre fiscal fixe'''|i=no or French: '''entier fiscal'''|i=no (sometimes also known as the "French: papier timbré|i=no tax" as a metonym), was one of the two forms of the French: timbre fiscal (the other was the French: timbre fiscal mobile).
The Revolt of the papier timbré in 17th-century Brittany arose from resistance to the French: papier timbré|i=no tax.
