I've never used a French site but I have bought 4 pairs of glasses and sunglasses from www.spex4less.co.uk - they are really helpful, deliver to France, and you can phone and talk to them if you have questions. Also, if for any reason you don't like the glasses they refund you. You probably already know this but you will need your PD (pupillary distance) measurement to order.

Thanks for the replies Satbloke & Russell. Ive had a good look at those 2 sites and they do offer a good selection at a decent price. The reason im looking online is because ive been disappointed with the quality of the glasses from French opticians. The lenses in the last 2 pairs became blurred and difficult to see thru after about 2 years, its not a sight problem just a lens problem as i can see perfectly well with other peoples glasses of a similar strength. Thanks again.
