People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect chance for you to contact them them.

These Days, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 functioning domains, the dot FR top-level extension is among the most popular country-code extensions.
