I went to this post office and it was busy, but the staff were very helpful. They essentially did everything for me and it cost 10 euro. They spoke enough English to understand what I wanted and to communicate what I needed to do. It worked out extremely well.

But au contraire my French-bashing friends, strange and wonderful things are afoot at your local French post office. We step inside, on the day before Christmas and there is NO line. My brother-in-law walks up to the counter and is immediately greeted by an employee who quickly retrieves the package in question and bestows it upon its rightful owner. I ask about postage for a few last minute Christmas cards and this same eager employee walks me over to the shiny new automated postage machine and begins to elaborate on its numerous glories. I'm only catching a little of this but I fish a five out of my pocket. Mr. Eager continues the schpeal as he gets me change from the equally shiny, equally new and apparently glorious change machine, gets my stamps and we are in and out of the Post Office in under 5 minutes. I was flabbergasted. France. you continue to surprise me!

The French Post Office is fascinating. First thing is there is a bank in there. Yes - a postal…read morebank. Seems logical, honestly. They also sell cell phones in there. So there are machines against the walls and windows - some for packages, some for letters. You go there and prepay for your postage. There are no translators on the machines so you need to know everything or at least know enough French to make your way around. And don't expect someone to come over and help you either. Not how it works here. Once you've gotten your postage you can either put your letters directly in the box or if you have a package you need to bring it up to the desk. Don't forget your customs forms if you are mailing something out of France. You will need to ask for a customs form for each package you are sending. On one visit I left one of my bags in here and they had it for me in lost and found when I came back the following week to ask for it.
