There is a lot of tarte citron yellow in Paris...
And not just because Parisiens can be a bit tart at times...
Le Poste in France is colored tarte citron jaune...
With much fear and trembling I ventured into the rue Cler poste all by myself...
Inside you take a number like in a US bakery...
They have chairs for you to sit down while you wait your turn!
And travel videos to watch and books to read while you wait! What?This guy is appropriately dressed for the poste...
Later I found out there was a special boutique for people like me...foreigners etc. They speak perfect English and are actually willing to assist you!?
They sell other stuff besides stamps here = like books...
And citron yellow gilets or vests to wear when you're biking...
And Givenchy prints or stamps or something or other, I'm not sure what this is...but I don't see any Oscar de La Renta at our USA post offices. How come?
If you don't feel like going inside you can drop your envelopes in the color co-ordinated yellow box outside...
Or perhaps hand your mail to this sweet little lemon truck...
One thing they do not sell at Le Poste is chocolate bars - well not yet...
But they do have these stamps called, Bloc Le Chocolat, that smell exactly like a tablette of chocolat! Pas mal non?
