Angloinfo.com. This site has regional subsections for many regions in France. The idea is to provide free listings only to businesses providing local service. Others can pay for listings. However, when they choose which businesses to include in their free listings, they don't use objective criteria. They will for example reject a small French-based agency business providing service in several regions, while including free listings on several regional sites for for example a US-based travel agent, a major international transfer booking company and international airlines like Ryanair and British Airways, asking the small business to pay for listings given for free to multi-million euro international companies. When you ask them for an explanation, they don't reply despite several reminders but instead instruct the regional sites to refuse or remove any listings.
Conclusion: you may of may not find useful listings on this site, but because of their discriminatory policy, it is far from complete, and it is in your own interest to search more complete listings on alternative sites.
