Amazon.com Launches French Store |
| Amazon.fr, a French-language site offering books, music
CDs, DVDs and videos dedicated to customers in France and to
French-speaking customers around the world, was launched this week.
"This is a store created for and designed by French people, which for the first time will allow French literature, music, film and culture to be accessed easily and quickly by people around the globe,'' said Diego Piacentini, Amazon.com senior vice president and general manager, international. ``As with the universal Amazon focus on the customer experience, we'll provide vast selection, great prices, excellent customer service and 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week convenience. This is one further step in our plans to become a global merchandiser.'' Amazon.fr will be supported by two facilities in France, with operations and administration at Guyancourt and a distribution center in Orleans. Customer service needs will be handled through Amazon's pan-European customer service center in The Hague, the Netherlands. That facility employs native French speakers to work with Amazon.fr customers. Your Opinion Matters!
