We’re now paying 53¢ for a standard letter sent within France. But
watch out – you now have to pay 2¢ more if it’s destined for an address
elsewhere in the EU. So nobody gets hassled over postage due make sure
you’ve put on one of the new blue 55¢ stamps.
Good news, though, if you’ve got a pen friend outside the old EU
area. If you’re mailing to any of the ten new member states you pay
just 55¢ – that’s 20¢ less than before they joined. La Poste points out
that its standard domestic rate is the cheapest within the EU (compare
the UK at 61¢ equivalent and Denmark at 81¢).
