Post
If you don’t have a set postal address you can always receive your mail by “poste restante”, at the Louvre central post office. The post office is recognizable by its yellow and blue chevron sign. Most post offices are open from 8am to 7pm, Monday to Friday, and 8am to midday on Saturday. Closed on public holidays.. Good to know You don’t have to queue at the counters; automatic machines are available in post offices to weigh and frank your mail. The concierge services of the larger hotels can also post stamped mail for you. You can also send an electronic postcard from our web site, click here. |
