Today, if you send a 32 gram letter to mainland France, it costs you 1,46 euros. If you send this same letter to Guadeloupe (or from the Antilles to the mainland), you have to pay 20 cents more because of the "air supplement," says La Poste.
Last month, the Minister of Overseas, Ericka Bareigts, expressed his desire to remove this additional cost. Asked by the Senate Law Commission about the draft law on substantive equality overseas, she said that the government wanted to "strengthen equalization in the area of postal rates".
“Article 11 A of the bill aims to eliminate the additional costs between France and overseas when it comes to sending letters between 20 and 100 grams. The five overseas departments will be concerned, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy and Wallis and Futuna, ”she said. However, no application date has been set.
