Reviews:
Doing Business with France
Rating: ********* (Outstanding)
France from a prospective business partners perspective!
It could have been Excellent, but it is to much geared to the UK perspective. But it is worth reading for even non-UK people, as it is full of information you need if you want to do business in France.
Highly recommended.
