Good evening Big thank you to everyone it has been a fantastic response. In brief  my thinking at the moment is to travel to Eymet in the south west of france, as i understand it has a large british community (incase there is any major unforseeable problems)and at the moment im not sure how the French public will take to the product so i will be giving away freebies to test the market, im told the French like to visualize their food before buying but that may or may not be true. If i may i would like to ask some further questions and pick peoples brains. Are there many British communities in France. Is the French liaison office a good place to help start and register a business, and is the French liaison available in every town. Is Chantilly famous for ice cream , only i am  only aware of Chantilly cream ( and it's beautiful horse racing course , love to go back there again someday it's a beautiful setting)    

Hi good evening Does anybody know if you are allowed to trade with a traditional english  ice cream van in france.If you can sell ice cream from a van, do the french sell ice cream from vans or is ice cream only sold from an ice cream shop or supermarket.Also would anybody happen to know if you can openly trade in the streets for free like in england or do you need to purchase a permit / licence via the local maire if for instance a pitch was required for a sea front location or tourist locaton or even a flower show or a fete or even a festival etc. Look forward to your replies. Thank you Paul
