Market context
French storefronts must speak French: the 1994 Toubon Law requires French in advertising and consumer information, so global brands run fully translated catalogues priced in EUR. Checkouts lean on the domestic Carte Bancaire card network and on 'paiement en 3 ou 4 fois' instalment offers, and retail prices move around the soldes, the winter and summer sales whose dates are set nationally.
The platforms most worth watching are Amazon.fr, Cdiscount, Fnac and Darty for new goods, Leboncoin for classifieds, used cars and property, Vinted for second-hand clothing, Back Market for refurbished electronics, SeLoger for homes and SNCF Connect for rail fares. Grocery 'drive' services from E.Leclerc, Carrefour and Intermarché, where shoppers order online and collect by car, set prices store by store. Uber Eats and Deliveroo compete in food delivery. Le Monde, Le Figaro and the regional daily Ouest-France are among the largest ad-funded publishers.
Google handles most searches, while Qwant, a French-built engine, and Bing hold smaller shares. Consent shapes what loads on a French page: the CNIL expects a 'refuse all' button as easy to use as 'accept all' and fined Google and Facebook in 2022 for making refusal harder, so ads and tags differ with the visitor's choice. The 1991 Évin Law restricts alcohol advertising, so drinks brands run different creative in France than in neighbouring countries. Personal data falls under the Loi Informatique et Libertés (Law No. 78-17 of 6 January 1978) alongside the GDPR.
Several product categories follow French rules that change what a visitor sees. New books carry a single price set by the publisher under the 1981 Lang law, and sellers may discount them by no more than 5%, so book prices barely differ between Amazon.fr, Fnac and independent bookshops. A 2021 law nicknamed the anti-Amazon law also sets a minimum delivery charge on online book orders, ending free book delivery. Non-prescription medicines can be sold online only by pharmacists attached to a physical French pharmacy, and tobacco cannot be sold online at all, only through licensed tobacconists. Price monitoring in these categories should expect near-identical prices and focus on delivery fees and stock.
Measured
Measured from our gateway in the Netherlands. Results describe the test, not a reserved exit, city or network. How we measure
In France: Check how campaigns render on Le Monde, Le Figaro and Ouest-France after a visitor accepts and after they refuse cookies, since CNIL consent rules change which ad tags load for French readers.
Ad verification proxies in FranceIn France: Compare EUR prices, instalment offers and delivery promises on Amazon.fr, Cdiscount, Fnac and Darty before and during the soldes, and follow resale prices on Leboncoin, Vinted and Back Market.
Market research proxiesIn France: Track French-language rankings on google.fr, including local results for queries naming Paris, Lyon or Marseille, and compare them with what Qwant and Bing return for the same terms.

print(response.json())Start with Amazon.fr and Cdiscount for general merchandise, Fnac and Darty for electronics, books and appliances, and Leboncoin for classifieds and used cars. Vinted and Back Market set second-hand prices for clothing and refurbished phones. France fixes the dates of the winter and summer soldes nationally, and an announced discount must be measured against the lowest price of the previous 30 days, so collect prices before, during and after each sales period.
Black Friday in late November is heavily promoted by French retailers, and Christmas follows straight after. French Days, launched in 2018 by six French online retailers as a home-grown answer to Black Friday, has since drawn in other sellers, including Amazon. Amazon Prime Day adds a summer peak. Because the soldes dates are fixed nationally, retailers use these events to discount outside the official periods, so price series should cover all of them.
