The postal code system in France was introduced in 1964 and consists of five digits. The first two digits represent the département, while the last three digits represent the specific postal code within the département. Postal codes are used for mail delivery and can also be used for online transactions and address verification. In France, some cities or areas may have multiple postal codes due to their large size or population. It’s important to note that the postal code system is mandatory in France, and all addresses are required to include a postal code.
