One-hour photo printing
 
Are there places in France and Italy (similar to Walgreen's or CVS in the US) where you can get one -hour or 24-hour prints made from a digital camera? I would like to send some photo postcards back to the US. I will already have the postcards--they come with a self-stick surface so you can attach the photos you take.
Thanks!

I guess they might still exist, but I can remember seeing any lately, but you should be able to find something in a major city like Paris.

But on the other hand, why not send a digital postcard instead?

Pretty widely available in Rome (was there 2 weeks ago).

Some places even have instant printing services. Certainly here in the Netherlands many shops - Hema, Kruidvat, Dixons for example, as well as photographic shops, offer an instant service - put your memory card in the machine, choose the photos to be printed and pay at the end with the ticket that the machine produces.
I imagine it is the same in France and Italy.

The alternative is, if you have access to a computer, to use an online service to print your postcards and post them for you. A US based one would be cheapest for you then.

Bear in mind European photo print sizes are different to US ones!
