What is the cheapest time of year to visit France?
The cheapest time to visit France is generally the low season, from November to March, excluding the Christmas and New Year period. Demand for accommodation and flights is usually lower than in summer and during major school-holiday periods, although prices vary by region, events and ski-resort season.
What are the most popular places to visit in France?
France’s best-known visitor destinations include Paris, with landmarks and museums such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre; the Palace of Versailles; the French Riviera, including Nice; the Loire Valley’s châteaux; Provence; and Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy. These places combine major cultural institutions, historic sites, coast and countryside.
How do tourists get around in France?
Tourists commonly travel between French cities by train, including SNCF’s high-speed and regional services, and use local public transport, walking and taxis within cities. Paris has a large Metro, RER, tram and bus network. A car can be useful for rural areas, smaller towns and some coastal or mountain itineraries, but is often unnecessary in major cities.
What travel documents do I need to fly to France?
You should travel with the passport, national identity card, visa or residence document required for your nationality, residency status, route and type of travel. France is in the Schengen area, but entry and carrier requirements can differ by traveller and can change. Check the official French and EU travel-information services, as well as your airline, before departure. Check the latest official guidance before you travel.
Do I need a car when visiting France?
You do not necessarily need a car when visiting France. Paris and many other large cities are practical to explore on foot and by public transport, while SNCF trains connect many major destinations. A car is most useful when you want flexibility in rural France, smaller villages, vineyards, parts of Provence, coastal areas or mountain regions where public transport can be less frequent.
How long does it take to get from the airport to the main tourist areas of France?
Transfer times depend on the airport and on whether you are travelling to Paris, the French Riviera, Provence, the Loire Valley, Normandy or another region. Official airport information supports the following airport-specific examples: Paris Beauvais (BVA) operates an official shuttle to Paris, with a journey of about 1 hour 15 minutes depending on traffic; Marseille Provence (MRS) has a train-station shuttle taking about 5 minutes to Vitrolles Aéroport Marseille Provence station, from where rail services continue towards Marseille and other destinations; Nice Côte d’Azur (NCE) is connected to central Nice by tram; Nantes Atlantique (NTE) has an airport shuttle to Nantes city centre; Lille (LIL) has an airport shuttle to Lille Europe; and Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS) is connected to the Toulouse public-transport network by tram. For Biarritz (BIQ), Brive (BVE), Béziers Cap d’Agde (BZR), Carcassonne (CCF), Dole (DLE), Bergerac (EGC), Nîmes (FNI), Figari-Corsica (FSC), Grenoble (GNB), Lourdes–Pyrenees (LDE), Limoges (LIG), La Rochelle (LRH), Perpignan (PGF), Poitiers (PIS), Rodez (RDZ), Tours Loire Valley (TUF) and Paris Vatry (XCR), transfer times vary according to the final destination, traffic and the available scheduled service, taxi, rental car or local transport option. Check the relevant airport and local-transport information before travel rather than relying on a country-wide transfer estimate.
