France: the number 3 market in Europe
With around 65 million inhabitants France is an important market in Europe. The country is relatively wealthy and certainly in the urban areas there is sufficient spending power for luxury goods.
How to find your French agent or distributor?
Paris as the capital of France is also the center for commerce. Most major organisations have their headquarters in or around Paris. For services and industrial products this can be a good place to start with quite some coverage. From there you can approach second tier and smaller cities.
Finding an agent or distributor requires good knowledge of the French language and a good understanding of the culture. If you are not French yourself (and preferably living in Paris with the right educational background) it will be difficult to get access to the market.
