Useful Information for Planning Your Trip
When is the best time to visit France?
The best time to visit France is during spring (May to June) or fall (September to October) when the weather is pleasant, and tourist crowds are thinner. However, the summer months are ideal for those wanting to enjoy the French Riviera's beaches.
Which French airports have direct flights from the US?
Direct flights from the US to France commonly serve Paris's Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY) airports. Flights also arrive directly at Nice Côte d'Azur airport (NCE).
Do I need a visa to visit France?
US citizens do not need a visa for short visits to France, up to 90 days. However, a valid passport is required, and starting sometime in 2025, an ETIAS authorization will be necessary for Americans which we're happy to help with. More info here.
How many days should I spend on vacation in France?
A vacation in France can be as brief as a week to enjoy a specific region, like Paris and the neighboring areas, or up to three weeks for an extensive trip that covers multiple regions to experience the country's full flavor.
