French hotels and restaurants see trade slow after terror attacks

Survey shows both manufacturers and services sector companies reported weaker growth in activity in November

The first snapshot of French business mood since the Paris attacks points to a slowdown in economic activity, with companies in the service sector reporting a blow to trade and confidence.

A wide-ranging poll of French companies signalled that private sector output grew in November, but at the slowest pace for three months. Some companies in the services sector, which includes hotels and restaurants, said the gun and suicide bomb attacks on the French capital had dented trade.
