La Poste Monaco (French pronunciation: [la pɔst mɔnako]) is the company responsible for postal service in the microstate principality of Monaco. Despite Monaco being an independent nation, under an agreement with France, the company is a subsidiary of the French post office, La Poste.
La Poste Monaco operates seven post offices at various locations within principality; one in each of the wards of La Condamine, Fontvieille, Les Moneghetti, Monaco-Ville and three including the company's headquarters at Palais de la Scala in Monte Carlo. The post offices sell typical postal products, such as postage stamps and flat rate envelopes which can be used to send up to 1 kg (2.2 lbs), and envelopes with postage pre-applied. Post offices in Monaco also offer post box services, They also offer commercial banking services through the French post bank La Banque Postale with some branches having ATMs, and as a outlet for mobile phone SIM cards for the Monegasque operator Monaco Telecom.
Although Monegasque post boxes are from the same stock as French post boxes, they are distinctively coloured in the principality's national colours of red and white, instead of the yellow of French post boxes. The post boxes also have a notice reminding that only Monegasque stamps are valid when using them, despite the rates being the same as in France.
