France proxies

French shops sell in French, price in euros and often run offers that only show for French delivery. A French address gets you that page.

Which line

Buying for France

Mo’s pick for France

Start on Datacenter.

A euro price check on a few product pages a few times an hour is light work, and at that pace most shops do not look at what kind of address you are on, so a datacenter IP, labelled honestly as a server, handles it. The classifieds are the exception: if you are polling Leboncoin searches, order ISP for that job.

Datacenter is the cheaper of the two. ISP costs more because the address is registered to a home ISP, which is what gets you past a site that blocks hosting ranges.

Why France

What people check from here

People checking France are usually after one of two things: a retail price for a product they want (electronics, books, games) or a listing on the classifieds. Both answer differently to a French visitor, and French is the language the pages and searches work in. Some things need no proxy at all: see the fuel-price question below before you buy anything.

Fnac and Cdiscount prices in EUR
Amazon.fr offers for French delivery
Leboncoin searches for new listings
google.fr results for French keywords

France questions

Do I need a proxy for French fuel prices?

No. The French government publishes station-by-station fuel prices as open data on data.gouv.fr, updated through the day. Download the feed and keep your money for the sites that publish nothing.

Will a French IP give me French-language pages?

Often, but many sites go by your Accept-Language header first. Send fr-FR in it along with the French IP if you want the page a French shopper sees.

Ordering, stock and metering work the same in every country: see the locations page.
