Le Post Question

[pilgr]

Hey guys,

I would like to send an extra pair of shoes ahead to SJPP from Le Puy. I understand in Spain you can send a package to the town post office addressed to yourself and you have maybe a month to pick it up at the post office. Does the Le Post in France work the same way???

Thanks!

Yes the system in France is similar.

In France the method of sending to yourself is called Poste Restante

Here is more info in French re the postal system/La Poste France

Here is very handy overview of the French postal system in English. The section General Delivery Service is relevant for you.

Good luck, Bon chemin and Buen camino!
