Colissimo Delivery Hub Armée
Service Presentation
This specific shipping method from French carrier Colissimo is specifically designed to allow for the sending of parcels to French military branches for the armed forces (Forces armées françaises).
Shipments to a Military Postal Sector are delivered by Colissimo Suivi. La Poste takes care of taking your parcel to the Poste Aux Armées, located in Vincennes, who will then deliver your parcel to its final destination. It's not possible to ship directly to an armed forced member, as their real location is hidden for obvious security reasons.
Address formating
To ship to a military base, you must format the address in a specific way.

Street & Stree Number (Postal Sector [SP]) The individual member of the military will know their postal sector. This acts as a street name and number, and must contain "SP" followed by 5 digits. (Ex: SP 12345)
-
Postcode: Replace the typical postcode with either 00100 for the French Navy, or 00200 for another sector of the armed forces. No other postcode will be valid or accepted for label creation.
