Postcodes in France

Postal codes were introduced in France in 1964, when ''La Poste'' introduced automated sorting. They were updated to use the current 5 digit system in 1972.
France uses five-digit numeric postal codes, the first two digits representing the département in which the city is located. The département numbers were assigned alphabetically between 1860 and 1870, but later changes (such as renaming and splitting of départements) mean that the list is no longer in strictly alphabetical order. The system also extends to French overseas departments and territories. Note that postcodes in both départements of Corsica commence with the "20" historically assigned to Corsica before it was split into two départements, which are now numbered 2A and 2B.
The last three digits identify a more precise location, 000 being in general reserved for the ''préfecture''. However, in Paris, Lyon and Marseille, the last two digits indicate the ''arrondissement''. For example, 80000 corresponds to Amiens, which is the ''préfecture'' of the Somme or département 80, while 69008 corresponds to the 8th arrondissement of Lyon.
==Format==

The postal code () consists of five digits. In metropolitan France the first two digits are the number of the ''département'' where the post office in charge of delivery to a town is located. There are some places where this is different from the department where the place is located. In the Overseas Departments and Territories, the first three digits identify the ''département'' or territory. The digits 00 are used for Military addresses. The digits ''20'' are used for all of Corsica; the split of the island into two départements was not followed by a change in the postal codes.
The next three digits identify the local postal office in charge of mail delivery. A regular postcode always ends with a 0, with the notable exception of Paris, Lyon and Marseille – see below – and the Overseas Départements and Territories. Postcodes not ending with a 0 may indicate a special code, known as CEDEX (see below), or newest postcodes.
In Paris, Lyon and Marseille, the last two digits of the postal code indicate the ''arrondissement''. Prior to 1972, an address in the eighth ''arrondissement'' in Paris, would be written as:
:8 rue Chambiges
:Paris 8e
This number was incorporated into the postal code as:
:8 rue Chambiges
:75008 Paris
The 16th arrondissement of Paris has two postal codes, 75016 (south) and 75116 (north).
In each département, the ''préfecture'' (main city) has a postal code ending with ''000'', for example Bourges in Cher:
:15 avenue du Général Leclerc
:18000 Bourges
The more important the city, the simpler the postal code. The ''sous-préfectures'' are generally recognized by using a XXX00 postcode. Here is for example the postal code of a small village, Lépaud in Creuse:
:16 grande rue
:23170 Lépaud
Another example with Pouillé-les-Côteaux in Loire-Atlantique:
:17 rue de la Cour
:44522 Pouillé-les-Côteaux
And the postal code of Mortagne-au-Perche, ''sous-préfecture'' of the Département de l'Orne:
:4 rue des Quinze Fusillés
:61400 Mortagne-au-Perche
It is not rare that many adjacent villages share the same postal code, which is primarily associated with a bigger post office, e.g.: 64150 can correspond to Abidos, Bésingrand, Lagor, Lahourcade, Mourenx, Noguère, Os Marsillon, Pardies, Sauvelade and Vielleségure. It may happen that a village is associated with a bigger post office in another département, thus its postcode begins with the two digits of another département. For example, Le Fresne-sur-Loire, in Loire-Atlantique, uses 49123, while its postcode should normally starts with 44, because it is associated with the post office of Ingrandes, a neighbouring commune in Maine-et-Loire.
Overseas Départements and Territories use 3-digit codes starting with : 971 (Guadeloupe), 972 (Martinique), 973 (French Guiana), 974 (Réunion), 975 (Saint-Pierre and Miquelon), 976 (Mayotte), 984 (French Southern Territories), 986 (Wallis and Futuna), 987 (French Polynesia), 988 (New Caledonia). In March 2008 La Poste proposed allotting 977 to Saint Barthélemy and 978 to Saint Martin due to their new status as overseas collectivities. In this case, the last zero is dropped so as to keep the 5-digit format. This is why the regular postcodes for these do not end with 0 except for the préfecture or sous-préfecture, for example:
:Maison du Port
:97100 Basse-Terre
:4 boulevard du Général de Gaulle
:97320 Saint-Laurent du Maroni
:193 RN2
:97439 Sainte-Rose
