Musée de la Poste
Facing Montparnasse station, the Musée de la Poste traces five centuries of French postal history, from royal couriers to modern sorting. Stagecoach models, uniforms, old letterboxes and one of the richest stamp collections in the world make up the route.
Fully renovated in 2019, the museum relies on an interactive scenography that appeals to families: you can send a postcard franked with a special stamp. The philatelic section displays treasures of postal heritage, including unique proofs.
Tip: allow 1 to 1.25 hours. Rarely crowded, ideal on a rainy day. Close to the Montparnasse Tower and the Jardin Atlantique.
