Postal Museum sights in Europe

  1. A

    Musée de la Poste

    Not only posties and philatelists but anyone who enjoys travel, exploration and communication will enjoy this contemporary postal museum. Billed as ‘L’Adresse’ (the Address), the museum offers a fascinating overview of the history of the French postal service, with exhibits spanning several floors. Imaginative temporary exhibitions might be anything from artist-designed letter boxes to wartime postal services or postcards.

    Before leaving, don’t miss the shop selling every imaginable French stamp, from Harry Potter designs to romantic red heart-shaped stamps, as well as stamps from overseas French territories including New Caledonia and French Polynesia.
