La Poste
Postal services, parcels and banking · France
La Poste is France's state-owned postal group: it delivers letters and parcels in France, runs Europe-wide parcel networks through Geopost (DPD, Chronopost, SEUR, BRT), and owns La Banque Postale and CNP Assurances, sold through 17,000 postal points.
What makes it different
Parcels, not letters, now earn most of its revenue.
54%Revenue from parcels and expressFY2025
Mail has fallen to 15% of revenue, so growth depends on Geopost's parcel networks across Europe.
