“France has the most concentrated postal network in Europe, comprising 17,082 public outlets; 5,632 of these are in partnership with other businesses, known as Agences Postales (postal agencies) or Relais Poste (postal intermediaries). In smaller villages, for example, it would not be unusual to find such services offered in a bakery or other private enterprise. 90% of French people live less than 5 km from a public outlet.”

No. You will not be digging about in the tooooooooombs for you might find all sorts of misplaced basssssssterds and then it’s the War of the Roses II.” I’d LOVE to see that!
I’VE BEEN THROTTLED!
@blogenfreude: plus they let you do totally unnecessary things like pay all your utilities and maybe cash a cheque or two, all in the same place. Prolly sell ciggies and serve coffee, too.
