Introduction: France Plus
develops and markets a wide range of internet products and
services. We aim to make our website the definitive source of
information about various localities around the world. Each
franchisee markets local businesses and their services in their
local area through the site. The press correspondent team maintains
the site and adds information to it. The franchisee works as an
interface between local institutions, associations, councils and
businesses. France Plus also gives franchisees the exclusive
opportunity to market two offline products: Worldcard and
Postcard.
