Keeping in Touch
 
International calls on your mobile are now cheaper since the roaming charge was reduced.  A stamp for a letter up to 20g to any location in the EU is 60 centimes and to the rest of the world, generally, 85 centimes.
 
Buy them from post offices (La Poste) or from some tabacs.
 
Tip:  Avoid the queues in the post offices by getting your stamps from the machine called an affrichissement (see picture).
 

 Post office in Rue rue Hoche

 

Closed at lunchtime

Post Office in Square Merimee

There are 235 telephone boxes, provided by France Telecom, in Cannes so if your mobile battery dies on you, do not dispair. They do not take coins but prepaid cards or bank card or reverse charge calls.
