Free business listing sites in France

28 sites worth listing a French business on, 26 of them free. The 4 French directories for any business come first, then the ones that matter in every country, then 6 for particular trades. Each one says what it is for, so you can skip the ones that do not fit your business.

One rule for every listing: enter your business name, address and phone number exactly as they appear on your Google Business Profile, character for character. The same business written two ways looks like two businesses.

  1. 5

  3. 7
