Is the code postal a valid French postal code?

It is five digits, the correct French code postal length, and its first two digits match the department code of the chosen commune — 75 for Paris, 13 for Marseille, 69 for Lyon, and so on. It is format-valid but not a guaranteed live delivery code.

How is a French address structured?

It runs as number then voie type and name (for example 12, Rue Victor Hugo), then the five-digit code postal and commune on the next line. The generator follows this order exactly.

Do the commune and code postal agree?

Yes. Each commune carries its department code as the first two digits of the code postal, so Paris yields 75xxx, Bordeaux yields 33xxx, and Lille yields 59xxx. The remaining three digits are random.

Can these be used to actually ship something?

No. They are fabricated for testing only. The combination of street and code postal is randomized and not a real deliverable address. Use them solely in development and QA.

Does anything leave my browser?

No. The whole address is built locally with no network calls, so your generated test data stays on your device.

Fake Address Generator (France)

A fake French address generator produces correctly formatted addresses for France, following the local convention of street number before voie name and a five-digit code postal whose first two digits identify the department. It is meant for developers and testers exercising French-language forms and EU checkout flows.

How it works

The generator keeps the postal region and commune consistent:

A commune is chosen, each carrying its two-digit department code.
A voie type (Rue, Avenue, Boulevard, and so on) and name are picked, prefixed by a house number that may include bis or ter, written in French order.
A code postal is built as five digits: the first two come from the commune’s department code (75 Paris, 13 Marseille, 69 Lyon, 33 Bordeaux, 59 Lille), and the remaining three are random.
The commune name is appended after the code postal to form the standard line, and the department name is shown alongside.

Tips and notes

The first two code postal digits are department-correct, satisfying the most common regional and length checks; the full code is not tied to a specific street.
House numbers occasionally include bis or ter, mirroring real French addressing.
