FATHER CHRISTMAS WILL WRITE BACK TO THEM IF A RETURN ADDRESS IS GIVEN People in France with a specific gift on their wishlist can now send a letter to Father Christmas with the help of


national postal company La Poste.  The company began accepting letters for Father Christmas on November 20, and if a child (or adult) puts the correct return address on the letter, will


receive a response before Christmas Eve from Santa or one of his elves.  It is the 62nd year that La Poste has employed its ‘secrétariat du Père Noël’ service, first starting in 1962.  La


Poste states on its website children from over 150 countries write to Santa each year.  Read more: France’s 2024 Christmas bonus: who is eligible and how much is it? HOW CAN SOMEONE WRITE TO


FATHER CHRISTMAS? The service is available both in physical and online format – a link to the latter is available here.  In all cases, La Poste says the letter must be written politely for


Father Christmas to respond, and most of the time contains a list of the presents somebody wants as well as a declaration they have been good this year.  Some example texts are found on the


La Poste website.  If writing a physical letter, the address must clearly show it is for Father Christmas (Père Noël, Papa Noël, or petit Papa Noël).  The rest of the address should also be


written out to make it clear the letter is not a real one. Some example addresses given by La Poste are:  Monsieur Père Noël Atelier du 25 Décembre 250 avenue des Nuages 1000 Pôle Nord Petit


Papa Noël 1 rue du Ciel étoilé Pôle Nord Papa Noël Avenue des Rennes Laponie Père Noël 33500 Libourne France (This last address is the headquarters of La Poste’s ‘Father Christmas secretary


service’). The service is free, and you do not need to put a stamp onto the letter.  They can be dropped off at over 1,300 special post boxes installed in La Poste offices across France, or


alternatively you can ask your postal worker where to drop the letter off if you do not have a post office near you.  As mentioned, the letter must include the full address of the sender on


the back, to guarantee they will receive a response.  The deadline to send a letter and receive a response before Christmas (either physically or online) is December 20.  Read more: What is
