HK$2,682+ Cheap flights to France

Peak Season: Spring is a very popular time to visit France (especially Paris) when the weather is usually warm and prices for hotels and flights to France are affordable. Summer is peak season in the South – the beaches warm up from May onwards and tourists flock to the Cote d’Azur. Wintertime is (obviously) peak season for skiing, both in the Alps and the Pyrenees. You can ski in the Alps from approximately December to March or April. Peak prices are around the Christmas holidays and the February half term. Winter holiday periods such as Christmas are often popular in the major cities as well, especially Paris. Off Season: Autumn time generally is off season throughout France. Temperatures can still be warm though the days are quite short. Prices for skiing are lowest before Christmas – though snow is not guaranteed at this time and the temperatures can be excruciatingly cold – and at the end of the season (late March to early April).

France is well-connected by rail, air and road. If you are planning on sticking to the main cities, it is a good idea to fly or go by train between cities and then use local transport within the city, as there can be quite a lot of traffic in the cities. If you are planning on exploring further afield, however, a rental car is a great option. The TGV (high-speed) trains in France offer an easy way to see the countryside and travel quickly between cities. For example, from Paris in the north of France to Nice on the south coast, the journey takes less than six hours and costs as little as HK$176. When in Paris, the metro service will get you around quickly and easily. You can also rent Velib bike for 1–7 days at a time.

Paris, known as the City of Lights, is the capital of France and is a destination in itself. Here you will find the famous sights, such as the Musée de Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées, Notre Dame Cathedral, Sacre Couer church and the Moulin Rouge. Visit Pont des Arts at sunset for a picnic overlooking the River Seine. Take a walk through the Luxembourg Gardens and see statues of French queens and renowned women. Take a trip out to Palais Versailles to tour the palace home of Louis XIV. In the south of France, you have the Côte d’Azur, or French Riviera, with cities like Antibes, Nice and Cannes that will give you a taste of the glamorous Mediterranean lifestyle. For natural beauty, head to the Gorge du Verdon, a canyon in southeastern France where you can do water sports. If you are a wine lover, tour the châteaux and vineyards of the Loire Valley or head to Champagne to try the genuine article. Don't miss the chance to visit the medieval walled city of Carcassonne or take in the Gothic architecture of the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel either.

If you are a Hong Kong passport holder and are visiting France for less than 90 days for tourism, you will need to apply online for an ETIAS (European Travel Information Authorisation System) visa waiver at least 72h prior to departure. To do so, you need a passport with at least three months validity, a debit or credit card to pay the fee of roughly HK$65, and an email address. The ETIAS is an electronic document that will be automatically linked to your passport when the waiver is granted.
