La Poste Raises Stamp and Parcel Prices for 2027

Overview

• La Poste announced in a communiqué published Monday, July 27, 2026, that average postage and parcel tariffs will increase by 6.73% effective January 1, 2027.
• The everyday Lettre verte stamp will rise by about 10%, moving from €1.52 to €1.67, the company said.
• La Poste said the hike is intended to protect the sustainability and quality of France’s universal postal service as the number of mailed letters has fallen for years.
• The group noted that the 6.73% average rise is smaller than the increase applied in 2026, framing the change as part of an ongoing adjustment process.
• Detailed parcel-rate tables and reactions from regulators, politicians, and consumer groups have not yet been published, but households and small businesses should expect higher mailing costs next year.
