France proxies: French IPs with rotation and sticky

A line with the FR geo goes online through home connections of French subscribers: Amazon.fr, Leboncoin and Cdiscount see an ordinary shopper from Paris or Lyon. Rotation for catalogs and search results, sticky for accounts. The T1-Zone package gives you unlimited traffic, and France is one of its 33 countries. A test gigabyte costs $1.

  • FR geo in the line
  • Rotation and sticky
  • Unlimited in T1-Zone
  • $1 test

Three ways to get French addresses

The choice depends on the job: you need only this country, you need traffic with no meter, or you need a pool where France comes with other countries. Compare the terms and start with a test.

FLEX-Traffic

Country set when creating lines

In the dashboard choose France, the session type and the protocol, and the list gives you up to 1,000 lines at a time. The gigabytes of an order are shared across all countries, with no cap on threads or speed.

  • Rotation: a new IP in France on every request
  • Sticky: one address while the subscriber is online
  • From $0.55 per GB, test gigabyte for $1
  • Login and password access from any IP

How country lines work

T1-Zone

Unlimited traffic, 33 countries

A GEO-Zone package with a separate pool of up to 3,000 addresses: the USA, Canada, Western and Northern Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea and the Gulf states. The list comes with a country column, and you filter the French lines.

  • Traffic with no meter, 1,000 to 2,000 threads
  • Test hour $1, day $15, 30 days $100
  • IP binding and money-back as in MIX
  • The live pool is below the ceiling: fewer addresses at local night

What GEO-Zone is

MIX packages

Worldwide pool, France among the countries

MIX-Basic, MIX-Business and MIX-Elite are gathered from all over the world. You do not pick a country when ordering, but each address in the CSV list has a country column, so French lines filter out in a second.

  • Unlimited traffic, 500 to 9,900 threads
  • Test hour $1, 30 days from $50
  • Fits when you need France alongside other countries

Regions and cities of France

A FLEX line selects the whole country. The map shows metropolitan France, where almost all the traffic comes from: Île-de-France holds nearly a fifth of the residents, followed by Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes with Lyon and the south with Marseille and Toulouse.

France: what to know before you start

Where the French live

One in five residents lives in Île-de-France, and the Paris metro area exceeds 12 million people. The second axis runs along the Rhône valley from Lyon to Marseille, the third along the Atlantic coast from Nantes to Bordeaux. The center of the country between them is sparsely populated.

Internet and providers

More than 92% of residents are online. Orange, SFR, Free and Bouygues Telecom share home internet, and FTTH fiber has reached most households. The same four carriers run the mobile networks. Sites treat the home address of such a subscriber as an ordinary visitor.

Language, time and prices

The language is French, and sites serve the fr-FR version. Metropolitan France has one time zone, UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer. Prices are in euros, and postal codes have five digits, the first two being the department number, which drives delivery calculations.

What people collect through French proxies

Prices, stock, delivery and search results on French sites depend on the visitor's address. Below are typical jobs and the line to start with.

Amazon.fr and Cdiscount

Prices and delivery

Product cards, discounts and delivery times for a French shopper. Rotation collects the catalog, and the delivery postal code is set on the site.

FLEX, rotation

Leboncoin

Classifieds

The country's main classifieds platform: cars, housing, electronics, jobs. Collection by region with rotation, posting and messaging under sticky.

FLEX, rotation

Fnac, Darty, Boulanger

Stock by store

Chains show prices and stock for the selected store. Rotation gets around the request limit from one IP.

FLEX, rotation

Google.fr

Rankings and search results

Results for France with the gl=fr and hl=fr parameters. For bulk rank checks, unlimited T1-Zone fits well.

T1-Zone

SeLoger and PAP

Real estate

Rentals and sales by department and city. Rotation for listings, and the district is set in the site's filter.

FLEX, rotation

La Centrale and AutoScout24

Cars

Car listings with prices in euros across France. Rotation for catalogs, seller accounts under sticky.

FLEX, rotation

Seller dashboards and ad accounts

Accounts

A store on Amazon.fr, Cdiscount or Vinted expects logins from one country. Sticky holds the French IP while the subscriber's device stays connected.

Ad and localization checks

FR geo-targeting

Ads targeting France, subscription prices in euros and French versions of services are visible only from a local address.

How to get a line with the FR geo

  1. 1
    Sign up in the dashboard and top up your balance.

    A test gigabyte costs $1 and covers about 5,000 pages without images.

  2. 2
    Create a list of lines.

    Country France, session type, protocol and number of lines. You can keep several lists for different countries and jobs, and they share the same gigabytes.

  3. 3
    Paste the line into your software.

    The dashboard gives you a line in the host:port:login:password format. In scripts the same address takes the form http://login:password@host:port, and SOCKS5 uses the socks5:// scheme.

  4. 4
    Check the exit.

    Open the My IP page through the line: it shows the country, city and network of the address. Protection check shows whether the site you need lets French addresses in without a captcha.

Need unlimited: take T1-Zone for an hour at $1, download the list as CSV and keep the lines with country = fr. The same list shows how many there are right now.

Tips for French sites

  • Set Accept-Language to fr-FR and the time zone to Europe/Paris: metropolitan France has just one.
  • In Google set gl=fr and hl=fr, and pass the results city as query parameters.
  • Delivery and stock depend on the five-digit postal code: set it on the site, the line does not change it.
  • Accounts need a sticky line: platforms notice an address change within a session. Sticky holds the IP while the exit device is alive and changes it only when that device goes offline.
  • Traffic is counted in bytes, so disable loading of images, fonts and video in your parser: HTML pages weigh many times less.

Questions about French proxies

01Can I choose Paris or another region of France?
No. A FLEX line selects only the country, and the address can land in any metropolitan region, most often Île-de-France and the Rhône valley. The T1-Zone list has no split either. Set the city for Leboncoin, SeLoger and Google through the site's own parameters.
02Whose addresses does the site see?
A FLEX-Traffic line goes online through a trusted home device, and the site sees a regular resident of France. In T1-Zone and MIX packages the addresses are gathered from various sources, with each line's country written in the CSV.
03FLEX-Traffic or T1-Zone: which to take for France?
FLEX when you need only France and know the volume in gigabytes: rotation, sticky, pay for traffic. T1-Zone when traffic is heavy and French addresses are needed alongside Belgium, Switzerland and the rest of Europe: unlimited, up to 2,000 threads, and you filter FR lines by the country column.
04Do French proxies work with Amazon.fr and Google?
Yes. Rotation swaps the address on every request, so the per-IP limit never fills up. The script on the US proxies page also works for French sites: paste your line and the URL you need, and it shows the share of clean responses, captchas and blocks.
05Are there free French proxies?
There are: the free proxies section filters the list by country and protocol and shows the last check time. Open addresses suit script debugging, but for real work take FLEX lines or the T1-Zone package.

More answers about countries and lines are in the general FAQ, and plans are on the home page.

French addresses in a couple of minutes

Top up $1, create a line with the FR geo and test the site you need with it. A month of traffic then costs from $0.55 per GB, unlimited T1-Zone from $100 for 30 days.
