Global Address GeneratorFrance billing address generator
Generate French billing address details with house number, street, 5-digit postcode, and commune.
Address information
A French address puts the number before the street: 12 Rue Montorgueil, 75001 Paris. The postcode is five digits and the first two often hint at the département. That is the opposite of the German street-then-number order.
The pool was cleaned from official French address points and is mostly local French text. It is not an INSEE residence record or a La Poste delivery guarantee.
How a French address is written
The usual line is “number street, postcode commune”, for example 12 Rue Montorgueil, 75001 Paris.
- Field order
- Number first, then Rue / Avenue / Boulevard and the street name. The next line is the 5-digit code postal and the commune. Région and département rarely appear on an envelope but may appear in admin filters.
- Code postal
- Always five digits. 75xxx is typically Paris, 69xxx Lyon, 13xxx Marseille. Do not insert a space or hyphen, and do not use a 4-digit code.
- Commune and street type
- The city field is the commune, not Île-de-France. Keep Rue, Av., or Bd in the street; some validators reject a street with the type stripped.
- Common address mistakes
- Do not flip number and street into the German order. CEDEX is a business delivery code and is not the default here. Keep accents.

FAQ
Where do the generated addresses come from?
Generation draws records from the address dataset for the selected region. The page also includes fixed format examples. A generated result does not establish a link between an address and your name or account.
How do I use a French billing address for a payment?
Check the house number, street, 5-digit postcode, and commune against the address registered with the merchant or card issuer. Correct formatting alone does not establish a billing match; this generator does not access your account records.
Do postcode and commune match?
Draws follow the pool’s postcode-to-commune links. Choosing a région narrows the set.
The form splits numéro and voie.
Put 12 in the number box and Rue Montorgueil in the street box. Do not put 75001 on the street line.
What about overseas départements?
They also use five digits. This first version focuses on mainland communes. Do not treat them as US ZIPs.
