Connexion Tip: Display your name
Make sure your family name is on your letter box in France, not just the house name or number.
This can affect deliveries.
When giving out your address, stick to the basics: The number, street, postcode and then town.
You do not need the department (the first two digits of your postcode indicate this). You can check if there are any strange quirks to your address, or find the ideal way to write it here tinyurl.com/French-address-check
