France

This category is for English language sites dedicated to the nation of France.

Sites which are truly bi-lingual (not machine translations) can be listed both in the English section of the directory, and in World/Français
Please spend some time locating the most appropriate subcategory, as correctly located sites save editor time, so are frequently reviewed in a shorter timescale.

Si le site que vous proposez est uniquement en français, veuillez le suggérer directement dans une sous catégorie de World/Français. Merci.

Arts and Entertainment

This category is for English-language sites on artistic, cultural and entertainment activities, events, institutions and organizations in France as a whole.

Business and Economy

This category lists sites with English content for companies either based or represented in France that produce products from raw materials and the companies that support them, such as distributors, wholesalers, industrial supply companies and manufacturing representatives.
The general types of companies that will be listed here are food processing, aviation, conveyors, electronic, instrumentation, mining, drilling, chemicals and textiles; however, the list is not limited to these industries.

Companies and industries that have a separate sub-category in France / Business and Economy will not be listed at this level. Examples of companies not listed here as a result of having their own separate subcategories are Agriculture, Computers, Construction and Maintenance, Real Estate, Shipping, and Telecommunications.

If the site is in English (or bi-lingual), please try to find the most appropriate subcategory, since better targeted sites are often examined first and so possibly classified much more rapidly.

Les sites bilingues Français/Anglais y sont également répertoriés.

Departments
