Just a heads-up for anyone else who’s shipping from France: La Poste’s tarif courrier is changing from 1st March. Most prices will increase by just a handful of centimes, so n’inquiétez vous.
A 20g lettre prioritaire increases from 54c to 55c; 50g increases from 86c to 88c. 250g and 500g are up 7c. There are also two new types of Lettre Max: 20g and 50g (as well as the current four size-limited packets), which are a rather reasonable €1,85 and €2,25 if you buy more than one at a time: those certainly deserve closer investigation for sellers of little things (though equally, they might presage greater strictness on the contents of a “lettre”).
For international prioritaire, changes are a little heftier at the lower weights: packets up to 50g increase 5c, up to 100g increase 10c, but over 100g there is no change.
All in all, not too bad: you can see all tariffs on La Poste’s website.

The French should pay more.
Don’t be a plonker… the Brits should pay less to bring us into line with the super low French postal prices 😛
the channel should be wider and deeper
Ahh, you’ve got to love the value of a publicly owned, publicly subsidised, publicly accountable mail service.
Unlike our, privately owned, publicly subsidised, unaccountable Royal Mail.
…until they fall out with your President, go on strike, and take your business down with em.
But Sue, we get the strikes too! Royal Mail workers strike with uncommon gallic enthusiasm.
Yeah, true. And we do have Carry On at the Elysee Palace to entertain us 😆
that convinces me the channel should be even wider and even deeper
Norf: get digging!
North is right, so long as I’m on this side… 😈
hadrians wall was such a grand idea too
Hey, North, if you really try hard, you could extend the Great Wall of China up and over and join it up…. 😆
