What is the French RNE?
The French RNE, or Registre National des Entreprises, is France's national business register maintained through INPI. It publishes company and establishment facts such as SIREN, legal form, creation date, activity, main establishment, address fields, and publication data, subject to French diffusion and reuse rules.
Full name: Registre National des Entreprises
Short explanation
The French RNE is the national register Fonteum maps through the `france-rne-inpi` source family. The adapter reads company-register data from INPI's RNE API/SFTP surface, keys legal-entity facts on SIREN, and excludes natural-person and INSEE non-diffusible records. RNE data is useful for legal-entity identity and establishment context, but it is not the same as a sanctions record, procurement eligibility record, or credit opinion.
