France passport photo prices: shops vs doing it yourself
In France we list Photomaton. None of the store pages we saved publishes a price, so ask before you order. SurePassportPhoto prepares the photo file for $6.99; you print the sheet yourself or at the store. We do not mail prints or send orders to stores. The table shows each price with the date we checked it.
