If you have french stamps you can use that or you can go to your local post office and ask for international reply coupons (IRC), 2 should be enough!
you can read about the IRC here:

Hi pavago
Welcome to the forum!
Not all post offices sell International Reply Coupons. Some post offices probably do sell them, but don't realise it because no one buys them.
If you go to your local post office and ask (remember to say International Reply Coupon and not IRC - or the Dutch equivalent) and if they don't have it, or have no idea what they are then you may need to explain what it is.
If not, you may need to go to a bigger post office or ask them to order some in for you.
Good luck!

That's not good. You should check your country's post office website, or see if you can order some online from another country
. Alternatively, you could see if you can get some French stamps.
