You are aware of the inevitable saturation of the traditional logistic areas in Belgium, Holland, Paris and Rhône-Alpes, which would make Burgundy your obvious choice : a region on a major artery for goods to northern and southern Europe.
You have several options with regards to property : office facilities or land, buying or renting. Like you, property investors have made Burgundy their strategic choice and 1 million square metres of logistic buildings have been planned or are being constructed. You are in a logistic region. The turnover for this sector (1.9 billion euros) accounts for 6% of regional business compared with a 3% average for other French regions. This is a unique phenomenon in France.
Why is this so ? Because, to Burgundy’s advantage, the two largest French logistic centres - the Paris region (47% of French turnover, 90% of air freight) and the Rhône-Alpes region (9% of French turnover) - are situated nearby, meaning that your company will be ideally located in the heart of a major infrastructure link-up.
