If you still aren't convinced, have a look at the statistics below

The French language ("français", in French) is spoken by 70 Million people in the world, while 33.3 M French-speaking people access the Internet. The population of France is 59.3 Million. French is the second most commonly taught second language in the world. French and English are the only languages spoken as a native language on 5 continents.

All this is reason enough to make sure that, whatever you want to say, is heard by the constituency you want to address. Especially since the French are fiercely protective about their culture and specially their language, then it becomes imperative that you address them in French.

If you still aren't convinced, have a look at the statistics below:

French population on Internet

French-speaking Canada follows at 2.3 M people online (according to The Daily Statistics (Canada) , March, 2001. Add to this already impressive figure, 1.0 M French-speakers in Switzerland (23% of the 4.3 M Swiss online, according to Nielsen NetRatings marketing research, Feb., 2004). Among the 3.4 M people online in Belgium (see latest survey from GfK and InSites), a quarter of them, or 0.9 M, are from the French-speaking provinces. Next to Belgium, Luxembourg has 170 K French native users online (source: ITU , 2003). Another 95 K Americans who access the Internet in French (50% of the French-speaking American population ). There are also French-speaking users in Africa, estimated to be a good 7 to 10 M. But Internet access is simply not readily available in most African countries. Even not taking into account these numbers it gives a total of 33.3 M French-speaking people online worldwide.
