About 5-Digit Postal Codes France
About
France's 5-Digit postal code data depicts the boundaries of all French postcode areas. This system was introduced by France's national postal service (La Poste) in 1964, and it facilitates automatic sortation and efficient mail routing across the country.
Recipients of larger volumes of mail (such as certain businesses or organizations) utilize a second code system known as Courrier d'Entreprise à Distribution EXceptionnelle, or CEDEX; each of these organizations or post box holders is allocated a postal code ending in three unique digits.
