Travel Tips & Essential Information for France
France offers world-famous cities, varied countryside, Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, and strong regional food culture. Visitors usually find excellent transport, broad card acceptance, and good mobile coverage, but strikes, busy tourist areas, and pickpocketing can affect plans.

France Travel Essentials
Language: French
English is commonly spoken in Paris, major tourist areas, airports, larger hotels, and many restaurants, but less consistently in smaller towns and rural areas. A few basic French greetings are appreciated and can improve interactions.
Cards are widely accepted in cities, hotels, restaurants, trains, and major attractions. Contactless payment is common. Small cafes, market stalls, some bakeries, rural businesses, and public toilets may prefer or require cash, so carrying a small amount is useful.
Plug type: Type C and Type E
Voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz
Adapter: Visitors from countries using different plug types will usually need an adapter. Travelers from countries using 110 V systems may also need a voltage-compatible charger or converter for devices that are not dual voltage.
Mobile network: Mobile coverage is generally strong in cities, towns, and along main transport routes, with widespread 4G and broad 5G availability in populated areas. Coverage can be weaker in mountains, remote countryside, and some coastal or island areas.
Roaming/SIM/eSIM: For short stays, EU visitors can typically use roaming under their home plan, though fair use limits may apply. For non-EU visitors, a local SIM often gives the best value for longer stays and domestic calls. An eSIM is usually the easiest option if your phone supports it, especially for airport arrival or multi-country trips. Compare data allowances, hotspot rules, and whether activation requires in-person ID checks.
France Safety, Culture & Tipping
France is generally safe for visitors, but pickpocketing and bag theft are common in busy tourist zones, on metro lines, around major stations, and at crowded events. Demonstrations and transport strikes also occur and can disrupt movement.
- Watch bags and phones closely in Paris, Marseille, Nice, Lyon, major stations, airports, and on public transport.
- Avoid keeping wallets or passports in back pockets; use zipped bags and keep valuables in front of you.
- Be cautious of distraction scams, fake petitions, friendship bracelet scams, and people asking you to sign forms near landmarks.
- Check transport operator alerts for strike action before intercity rail or metro travel.
- If driving, do not leave luggage visible in the car, especially near tourist sites and motorway rest areas.
Do
- Say hello, please, and thank you in French when possible.
- Validate the correct train or local transport ticket where required and keep it until the end of the journey.
- Book major museums, popular restaurants, and long-distance trains in advance during peak season.
- Carry some cash for small purchases, markets, and rural areas.
Avoid
- Do not assume everyone will begin the conversation in English.
- Do not place phones, wallets, or passports on cafe tables or on the seat beside you.
- Do not ignore strike or protest notices if you have a train or flight connection.
- Do not cross roads carelessly in busy cities; watch for bikes, buses, and scooters.
Local cultural tips
- • Greet staff with a polite hello before asking a question or ordering; this matters in France.
- • Table manners are valued; keep a respectful tone and avoid overly loud behavior in restaurants and on trains.
- • Meal times can be more fixed than in some countries, and some restaurants may stop serving between lunch and dinner.
- • Dress tends to be slightly more formal in many urban settings than in very casual beach destinations.
- Greet people on entry to a shop, cafe, or reception desk.
- Use formal politeness with strangers and older people unless invited to be more casual.
- Wait to be seated in many restaurants rather than choosing any table.
- Keep tickets and receipts handy, as inspectors may ask to see them on trains or transit.
- At bakeries and small shops, have your order ready and move efficiently when it is busy.
Service is usually included in restaurant prices, so tipping is not obligatory. Leaving small change or rounding up is common for good service, and around 5 to 10 percent may be given in higher-end restaurants for especially attentive service. For taxis, rounding up is common. Hotel housekeeping and porters may receive a small tip, but this is discretionary.
