France's Postal Code Format

France uses a "Code postal" system, which is a five-digit numeric format, like 99999, with no letters or separators. This means it uses only numbers, similar to US ZIP codes, which are also five digits and purely numeric. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, France has 16,050 postal codes covering 35,172 regions and 39,597 towns.

  • Code postal Format: 99999

    • 5 digits, numeric
    • Special prefixes: 97XXX for overseas departments and territories; 99 / 00 for military or special sorting codes
    • 16,050 postcodes covering 35,172 regions and 39,597 towns

    Example:

    • 75010 - Paris
  • Structure of Postal Codes

    • Format: 99999, numeric
    • Hierarchical levels: First two digits correspond to the département number (with exceptions for overseas territories, military and CEDEX codes).
    • Key challenges: Exceptions like Corsica (administratively 2A and 2B, but both use "20XXX"), and overseas departments using prefixes such as 97XXX.
  • Management & Authority

    • Primary postal authority: La Poste, www.laposte.fr.
    • Other source: data officially maintained through the Base Adresse Nationale (BAN).
  • Addressing Standards

    • Common address format: [Street Number] [Street Name], [Postal Code] [City]
    • Example address: 10 Rue de la Paix, 75002 PARIS
  • Special Characteristics

    • CEDEX: special postcodes for high-volume mail receivers or public bodies; being phased out.
    • Overseas territories share the same postal system and source, though identified under separate ISO codes (e.g., GP, MQ, GF, RE, YT, PF, NC, WF, PM, TF, BL, MF).
