People from all these countries frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful way for you to get in touch with them them.

The TLD was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a .FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active domains, the .FR domain name extension is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
