Restaurants in France — nationwide B2B lead lists

What you'll find scraping restaurants across France

France is strongly centred on Paris, which holds a large share of the national business base, but Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux are substantial markets too. A nationwide list means searching Paris in depth and then sweeping the major regional cities. Profiles are written in French.

For restaurants specifically, the size of the national list depends on how many cities and sub-categories you search: a single query returns a slice, while a city-by-city sweep can surface thousands of businesses across France. Expect a little over half to list a website — the rest you can still reach by phone. The major markets to search are:

• Paris
• Lyon
• Marseille
• Toulouse
• Bordeaux

The best way to scrape France nationwide

Open the Google Maps scraper and set the country to France. The setting that matters most is breadth: add several major cities as separate regions in one job rather than running a single national query. Google caps each query at roughly 120 results, so France is best covered by running its major cities as separate regions in one job — Kavex deduplicates on place ID across them, so no business is ever returned twice.

• Search in French — the local term returns far more complete coverage than the English word.
• Search Paris in depth first, then add Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux.
• Kavex deduplicates on place ID across regions, so overlapping searches never double-count.
• Add Nice, Nantes and Lille to reach the mid-size regional markets.

Who buys France restaurant lists

A nationwide restaurant list for France is valuable to a specific set of vendors. Typical buyers: POS systems, food-delivery platforms, reservation software, payment processors, food distributors, marketing agencies.

What the nationwide restaurant export looks like

Every job downloads as one CSV with a single restaurant per row, no matter how many cities it spans. Each row carries the business name, full address, phone number, website, primary category, star rating and review count, with a website-extracted email added wherever one is published. A national export looks like this:

• One deduplicated row per business across every city searched.
• A Paris restaurant: phone, website and a website-extracted email.
• A Lyon listing: phone and website present, no public email — still reachable by phone.
• A smaller-city restaurant: phone only, ready for a Phone Validator pass before any call.

Enrich and personalise before you reach out

Toggle "Include emails" so the scraper visits each restaurant website and extracts a contact address, then run those through the Email Verifier to drop anything undeliverable. The Phone Validator sorts the remaining numbers into mobile and landline, and the AI Personalizer turns each row into a short cold email referencing the business and its city — far stronger than a single national mail-merge blast.
