Tourists with no fixed address in a town may receive their letters from post office through a

When tourists are traveling and have no permanent address, they can use the Poste Restante service to receive their letters at a post office. This service allows the post office to hold mail for the traveler until they come to collect it. To use this service, the traveler must simply address their letters to their name, followed by "Poste Restante" and the name of the post office where they will be collecting their mail. Once the mail arrives, the post office will hold it for a certain period of time (usually a few weeks) and then return it to the sender if it is not collected.
