Frequently Asked Questions

Q - My order will not complete?

A- Sorry if you are using a UK bank card to pay and have a UK bank card at your French Address it may not work and you will need to use a French bank card for this, this is a restriction from some banks and Pay-Pal to provide you with extra security, if you do not have a French bank card then please either ask a friend who has one to pay for you or see below on the question "Can I pay in another way"
