Tabacs


Recommended Posts

Another example of local differences then, or perhaps a question of size. Although my town is hardly a tourist destination it has a population of over 75,000, and all types of stamps (including not only all types of postage but also  timbres fiscaux which I am not even sure are available in Post Offices) are for sale in Tabacs.

I certainly wouldn't want to have to wait for over an hour in the queues at the Post Office for something like a stamp, although they may have a machine (I haven't looked since I avoid La Poste(spit) as much as I do  France Télécom (double spit))

You can buy them online:

There is also the possibility of  printing your own onto sticky labels

or sending registered letters online

Anything to avoid having to suffer the abominable service 'au guichet'

Most of the one's I have asked in normally sell french ones or post card ones for europe. But then I have been in some that sell neither .

I wonder do they have a sticker in the window to say they sell stamps and what would dit look like any one know ?

You know the only thing our local tabac sells is those bloody scratch cards.

Newspapers: all too often "Non"

My cigars: regular "rupture de stock"

Stamps: a postcard to Paris, maybe

Magazines: a myriad of titles, most of which he says are returned
