The leading European online shopping site, LeGuide.com, becomes the shopping partner of QWANT

An all-French innovation that offers Internet users a real alternative to conventional search channels

With 82,000 merchants and 155 million products listed, the leading European online shopping guide, LeGuide.com, has become the preferred partner of QWANT, the all-French search engine that offers a new way of searching the Internet.

Qwant, a 100%-French innovation, offers Internet users a real alternative in the Internet sector.

Founded in 2011 and launched in July 2013, Qwant offers a new way of performing searches by concentrating the entire Web on a single page (search engine, news, social networks, shopping sites, etc.).

LeGuide.com, the leading European online shopping guide, established in France in 1998 and listing the sector’s broadest range of products and merchants, incorporates the Qwant shopping platform, thus endowing the search engine with the market’s richest and most independent product offering.

Olivier Sichel, CEO of the LeGuide group, commented as follows: “I welcome the partnership with QWANT. There are true innovation clusters in France and we should remember that France is a country with a high level of expertise in Internet-related areas. This partnership offers Internet users a real independent search alternative. This alternative is crucial for the sector’s economic and competitive equilibrium.”

Eric Léandri, CEO of QWANT, stated: “We are delighted to embark on this partnership with LeGuide.com. We launched QWANT in July 2013 and have been working for two years to offer Internet users a new browsing experience by incorporating all the Internet’s different tools, from search sites through social networks. The shopping platform was key. It was logical and consistent to turn to the leading European online shopping site since 1998, which is 100% French in origin. This partnership is an integral part of our strategy of offering Internet users high-quality, innovative search options.”
