Postage from france to us?

Question

I'm going to be in France for a couple of weeks. I have stamps from the last time I was there 0.50 euro stamps. Will one of these get a postcard to the us? how about a letter? if not, should i just use 2?

Answer 1

The rate is now 0.85 € for anything up to 20 grams (1.70 € for anything 21 to 50 grams) * so you'll need to put two of your stamps if you want to get rid of them or just buy new ones.

* Postcards are well under 20g as long as they are A5-sized maximum. Regular-sized envelopes containing 2 A4 sheets are under 20g too.

A4 size is more or less like US letter (slightly longer and narrower) and A5 is half of that.

Answer 2

Why don't you just wait till you get there and ask at the post office?
