★★★★★7 months agoI’ve visited this Postal Museum as I would like to send my friends some postcard. It wasn’t a popular place so all descriptions are in French. I need to use translator to read through the description. Overall is interesting. You can walk-in and don’t need to buy tickets in advance.

★★★★★3 years agoI love everything post office so this museum is really perfect!! I love stamps and here are stamps. Letters and uniforms - mailboxes (yes, I have a fascination with yellow so I like it even more!). The staff are lovely and especially the lady at the souvenir counter, never met anyone cuter than her!
