Particularities for transports to France
Due to the distance, shipments to the south of France may take longer to arrive.
France as an economic area
The French economy is the most successful and fastest growing in Europe right after Germany. Tourism plays an important role in the service sector, as the country and Paris in particular are considered the most visited places in the world.
The main trading partner with the highest number of imports and exports continues to be Germany, followed by Spain and the USA.
The traffic infrastructure of France
With its dense highway network, excellent public transportation and long coastline, France presents a major transportation infrastructure. The highway network supports the Paris metropolitan area with the surrounding regions. About two-thirds of all highway routes are subject to tolls.
In general, the logistics sector is of high importance for France. Last but not least, due to its advantageous geographical location. The new construction of the "Ligne à grande vitesse" (LGV), which will connect France with southern Germany, is particularly relevant for freight forwarding. Thalys, on the other hand, connects Paris with Brussels, Aachen and Cologne.
