Postal Codes in France

The five-digit postal code is an essential part of all French addresses. It is used to identify the commune. This code comes immediately before the village or town and is on the last line of all French mail. Within the code, the first 2 digits indicate the number of the département; while the last three digits are used to identify the commune.

Some smaller communes share the same code with others.
