it's at least a amenity=letter_box, ok
it's also a real amenity=post_box ? as a tourist, I can find this box
on the postal operator's website and put my letter there?
or is it just a habit that people also put the outbound there ?

for me, that doesn't matter. it's a amenity=letter_box
if you have information on the number of people or the geographical 
area, I have no objection to this being specified as an post_box=*
(and unfortunately the most common way is to add the meaningless
:type suffix)
