Say ‘bonjour’ to Qype France
Today marks the day that Qype becomes officially pan-European with the launch of Qype.FR (here’s what Techcrunch France had to say about it).
Our fantastic Team Français really has got the whole country covered, from Toulouse, Bordeaux, and Montpellier; to Lyon, Versailles, and of course Paris.
Don’t speak French? Don’t worry about it. Even if you only have the most basic, GCSE level, grasp of the langue de l’amour then you can still take advantage of our move across the channel by clicking on the ‘Language’ dropdown menu in the top right hand corner of the page.
Just click on ‘anglais’ and you’ll instantly see all the English language reviews in France, from the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower to the best little bookshops hidden away in the backstreets of Paris.
With the Eurostar now running from the fantastic new St Pancras, and Qype bringing you local reviews of the best places to stay, see, eat and shop, maybe you should start planning that romantic, Valentines getaway right now?

Erm, isn’t it customary to put the language selections in their respective languages, so that you don’t have to understand the language that the interface is currently in order to change language? I.e. “Francais, English, Deutsch”. You’ve still got the problem of which language to put the “Languages” button, though, because you’ve put it as a drop-down. Perhaps you could consider making space for the links without a drop-down, to avoid this. After all, it’d be a shame for all that translation effort to go to waste because people can’t find the language-switching button.
Also, why does clicking the country links at the bottom switch the interface into the native language of that country?
