La Poste introduces higher postal charges
The price of a stamp in France will increase on Tuesday by 3 cents to 53 cents. The price of a stamp for delivery to Europe will become 55 cents. The last price increase was in June 2003 when the price was increased from 46 to 50 cents. This new increase should produce an additional 180 million euros in revenue for the mail division of La Poste which realised 10.6 billion in 2003
