Madagascar Address Format
Malagasy addresses follow the French convention: recipient, street address, then the 3-digit postal code followed by the city on one line (no separating punctuation). Many premises use a 'Lot' number plus neighborhood instead of a classic street + house number, and P.O. Boxes (BP) are common.
