No personal experience, so can't advice which ones are better...

I've used Interflora, but the selection isn't that good! As said, have a look through some of the sites on google.

France is really patchy for florist coverage, but the big relay companies should cover it ok.

No matter where you're sending flowers to it's best to try to order direct with a local florist, so if you can do a bit of searching online to find one it'll pay off.

Interflora and the other big relays are notoriously greedy with their commission and are best avoided.

I have to declare an interest in that I own a florist in Edinburgh. We use http://uk.direct2florist.com/ to send out our outgoing orders. They have a fixed service fee which is totally transparent, and that in turn means more of the customers money being translated into flowers.

If you are stuck, PM me with details and I'll try to find out who d2f would use in France.

?flying flowers worth a look. I've used them to get flowers to Australia (as well as in England), very successfully. Not sure re: more 'local' though

I used to use an outfit based in Jersey which might make sense to use?

Can't remember the name which won't help, but think it was Le T something, possibly involving rainbows?

How about googling for a Froggie flower shop near the recipient, sending them your request and paying by Paypal?
