Parlez-vous Français?? – Mailing France

France has the sixth largest economy in the world, with strong links to EU countries the UK is France’s fifth largest trading partner and even post-Brexit is likely to enjoy strong trading relations.

Like the UK, France is a multi-cultural country with a population of 67 million and major cities including Bordeaux, Paris, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nice and Toulouse. With all cities and provinces being easily accessible to the UK, a mail campaign might be just the remedy to boost business revenues.

Being neighbours to the UK, with a strong ex-pat community and hundreds of years trading history there are many reasons for UK exporters to explore the potential of the French market. International mail (direct mail in particular) is an exciting way to open up the opportunities to the French market.

Built in 1806 the Arc de Triomphe, Paris is a French cultural highlight
