Marks & Spencer Set To Return To France

Britain’s biggest clothing retailer is to return to France this year, ten years after moving away from Europe to focus on its domestic business. The chain has announced plans to open a 15,000-sq-ft store on the Champs-Elysees in Paris later this year. An international transactional website is also in the pipeline.
