Made in France: companies determined to take the plunge!
Today, "Made in France" is more than just a trend. For many consumers, buying products made in France has become a civic gesture. There are many reasons for this, ranging from ecology to economics, to supporting local craftsmanship.
A civic act?
The first argument in favor of "Made in France" is its civic dimension. Buying products made in France is a way of supporting local employment and contributing to thenational economic effort. More and more consumers are becoming aware of the impact of their consumption on the environment, and are seeking to act responsibly. By choosing "Made in France", they know they are making a concrete gesture to maintain jobs in France.
French know-how is not limited to luxury
The second argument in favor of "Made in France" is theexcellence of French know-how.
While for a long time, France was known for its haute couture and luxury goods, today the food, design and even new technology sectors are developing and offering high quality products.

Buying made in France for the sake of ecology and energy efficiency
The third argument in favor of "Made in France" is the environmental dimension. Imported products are often manufactured in less environmentally-friendly conditions and have to be transported over long distances, thus increasing their carbon footprint. Products made in France, on the other hand, are often produced with greater care, and have less impact on the environment during transport.

Finally, buying products made in France means participating in the local economy and supporting local artisans. French companies have local suppliers, which means that consumers' money stays in the local economy. It also helps maintain local traditions and preserve regional know-how.
