One more thing : if your postman (or a fireman) comes to your home during the evening selling calendars in november / december, don't be afraid, it's a tradition in France.
Basically, every French family has two calendars, one from the postman and one from the fireman. If you are willing to get one, you choose the amount you want to give them. 5 euros is ok.
