In France the numeric code for the departments is used as the first two digits of the postal code, except for the two departments in [[Corsica]] that have codes 2A and 2B and use 20 as postal code. Furthermore, the codes are only the codes for the department in charge of delivery of the post, so it can be that a location in one department has a postal code starting with the number of a neighbouring department.
