Buying stamps by Elainehead
In France, you can buy stamps at post offices and Tabacs (a shop displaying the red diamond shaped "tabac" sign).The main post office in Nice is located on Avenue Thiers (just across main train station).
One individual stamp costs 0,55 ?
The cost of sending a letter depends on its weight and destination.
If you want to buy stamps (less than 10), you will have to queue (beforehand grab a ticket and wait for your number to be displayed). Otherwise, you can buy a 10-stamp book (carnet de timbre) or frank your letter at the postage vending machines, which are located on the right. Only coins accepted as far as I know. If you read a sign which says "Hors Service", it means the machine is out of service.
