Sending postcards and letters from FranceNew rates as from July 1st 2011 Here you will find the main international air-mail postage rates for France. For all other postal rates (notably pre-paid envelopes, recorded delivery, heavier items), it is best to visit a local post office. Stamps can be bought in post offices, but often also from "tabacs", or tobacconists selling postcards. It is advisable to include an air-mail sticker on international mail, though this is not essential. Virtually all international mail within the European Union is sent by airmail unless surface mail is faster. Last collections from mail boxes in urban areas are usually around 4 p.m., but later from main post offices. In rural areas, letterboxes are often emptied just once a day, frequently before midday.
