点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This report is the investigation of distribution system in France. Form 1999 to 2003, we went to France three times and researched many cities, chambers and institutions. Such as Paris, Lille, Bordeaux, Le Mans, Renne, Nantes, Orleans. According to the research, several points were clarified. For example, big stores control the food market in France, but recently, government severely controls that market by the law of Lafferlin. As a result, at present, big store cannot easily open their new shops. On the other hand, in spite of these situations that governed by the big store, even now many small market survive. Local government also utilizes the transportation system like tramway for revitalization of urban area. Compared with our Japanese distribution system, the Japanese system is similar to France's. But in France, they maximize the use of the combination of transportation and distribution systems. So, these points provide us with many implications.
