If you had a listen to the answering machine in the restaurant you might have a bit of an idea where the key for the backdoor can be found. The restaurant owner mentions that it has been lost at the post office, but gives no indication of where the post office is, or where he lost it.

Where is the Post Office

To start with, the post office can be found just round the corner from your house, opposite the gates to the park before the beach, and the army vehicle. It has a blue front with 'Saint-Exil' and 'Bureau De Poste' as signs above the windows.

How to find the Key

Contrary to what the answering machine, or the objective journal might lead you to believe, the key isn't actually inside the post office, as the building is completely inaccessible. Instead, it has fallen down the drain just outside the building, and you'll need to do some maneuvering to get it out.

You will need to make sure that you're in the summer weather though, as if it is in the winter you'll be unable to interact with the drain. Once you've made sure the weather is correct though, you'll want to head to the drain that is the furthest away from your house. You should be able to interact with it, and Elise will use a plank to move it down.

Once you've done that, head to the other drain which is a bit closer to your house and the key should be sitting there waiting to be picked up.
