You can open yours from most traditional banks, such as Crédit Mutuel or La Banque Postale. However, you must be of legal age to take advantage of it, and it is impossible to create more than one booklet A per person. A minimum payment (which does not exceed ten euros) will be requested at the opening.
Liquidity withdrawals and deposits are relatively free, but the total amount of the Livret A account is capped: it cannot exceed 22,950 euros for an individual. A necessary precision because the associations law 1901 can also invest in this way, up to 76,500 euros this time.
