法国在历史上曾是仅次于英国的第二号殖民国家,但随着二战后亚非拉地区民族解放运动的兴起,法国的海外殖民地几乎丧失殆尽,目前仅余下十处左右,这当中现在仍在发行邮票的有位于太平洋上的新喀里多尼亚、法属玻利尼西亚及瓦利斯和富图纳,位于大西洋上的圣皮埃尔和密克隆、位于印度洋上的马约特岛、外加法属南方和南极领地共计六个地区。此外在安道尔的法国邮局也在发行邮票。而其它几处地方(留尼汪岛、瓜德罗普岛、马提尼克岛、法属圭亚那)则早已经停止了发行邮票。
France was historically the second colonial country after Britain. However, with the rise of the national liberation movement in the Afro-Asian region after World War II, France’s overseas colonies were almost completely lost. At present, there are only about 10 remaining colonies. Stamps are still in circulation in New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna in the Pacific Ocean, Saint Pierre and Miquelon on the Atlantic Ocean, and horses in the Indian Ocean The island of Jute, plus a total of six areas belonging to the French Southern and Antarctic territories. In addition, stamps are also being issued at the French post office in Andorra. Several other locations (Reunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana) have already stopped issuing stamps.
