Not much I could find on the lobster schooner Le RÉVE, her owner was Raoul Fleurié from Saint-Denis on Reunion Island, his burial site is shown on the left of the stamp.
1913 The Le RÉVE called at Saint Paul Island where they buried the body of Raoul Fleurié who died on board during the lobster season in the waters around St Paul and Amsterdam Islands.
Not any detail of the Le RÉVE I could find, more info on the ship is welcome.

French Southern and Antarctic Terr. 2016 2.80Euro sg?, scott?
