🍅 Open markets in France 🍒 Back in 1957, Gilbert Bécaud already celebrated the scents and joys of the markets of Provence... 🍓 Today, the stroll among stalls with enticing aromas is still cherished by the French. From Parisian avenues to village squares, markets continue to attract crowds. ☑ In recent years, media campaigns gathering votes from nearly 10 million people have been electing the most beautiful market in France. 🥇 In 2023, the market of La Réole, along the Garonne River, won the prize. The 2024 campaign is now underway! 🍑 Markets have withstood the rise of supermarkets, continually renewing themselves by adapting to consumers' desires and needs: consuming local, organic, and short-circuit products. 👨🎨 Going to the market is not just about filling your basket; it's an immersive experience engaging all your senses: you scrutinize, touch, weigh, smell, taste, and hear the merchants' cries mingling with the chatter. You return to your favorite stalls, where you always leave with a little something extra, discover new ones, and allow yourself to be tempted... You come back tired, loaded, but somehow rejuvenated by this ritual we are not ready to give up! 🗼 Have you just arrived in France, or are you planning to come soon? What better way to integrate culturally than by being accompanied by welcoming French locals who can introduce you to our customs and traditions? Contact us, and we will take care of you. #internationalmobility #relocation #immigration #moveinparis #movetoparis #relocationservices #expatinparis #mobility #comingtoParis #livinginParis #France #lovingFrance #immigrationservices #loveparis #expatlife #Paris #livinginParis #culturalintegration #welcomeseminar #Paris #Frenchculture

Clap de fin, That's a wrap! for our NZTE activities at SIAL Paris 2024! A big thank you to New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, our Trade Commissioner Tara Druce, The New Zealand Ambassador to France, H.E. Caroline Bilkey, the SIAL Paris organizers, and our incredible New Zealand companies for making this year’s SIAL show such a valuable experience for learning, sharing, building business and networking opportunities. My key takeaways on exporting to France from this week: - SIAL Paris is an outstanding event, featuring over 800 new exhibitors this year with new halls added, bringing the total to 7,500 exhibitors (90% of them international). It’s one of the largest food fairs globally - definitely not one to miss! - The New Zealand/Europe Free Trade Agreement, which came into effect a few months ago, offers significant advantages to our NZ companies (with most duties removed). However, some non-tariff barriers still need addressing. - New Zealand's strengths in the French and European markets lie in New Zealand consistent supply and the strong reputation of the New Zealand brand. - Post-Brexit, maintaining stock in Europe is crucial. FOB is no longer viable for certain categories. - Having local representation on the ground is essential, especially with a consumer base of around 70 million in France - hiring local talent to sell your products is highly recommended. - Success in the French market requires focus, patience, and building strong relationships. - While France can be a highly centralized market, there’s also a growing trend toward decentralization and regional focus. Exporters should take this into account, particularly regarding grants and retail negotiations. #SIALPARIS #NZTE #NewZealand #FreeTrade Tara Druce Caroline Bilkey Nicolas Trentesaux Sophie Delcroix Paul McKey The Pure Food Co ZURU Edge Taylor Preston Ltd Beef + Lamb New Zealand Springbank Honey Prolife Foods Ltd Manuka Doctor Thierry Bonnet

FlySafair this is the last time that I will fly with you. What happened to being the most on-time airline in Africa? The flight from King Phalo airport to Johannesburg is delayed by more than an hour. Do you think that FlySafair would timeously let its customers know about this? Not one message until 13h23 when we are supposed to be boarding the flight. No explanation for the delay and no compensation for the inconvenience. FlySafair, you really need to do better. This is absolutely the last time that I will fly with FlySafair. #FlySafair
