Flights in France
The cheapest fares almost always appear 6–8 weeks ahead. Use flexible-date search to scan a range — Tuesday and Wednesday departures are typically cheapest, and a nearby airport can save hundreds.
Makutet recommends
For most visitors to France, we recommend running a flexible-date search and setting a price alert — fares swing 20–30% within a week either side of the cheapest day.
Quick facts
- Currency:EUR (euro)
- Visa:Schengen Area — most Western visitors get 90 days visa-free within any 180-day period.
Things to avoid
- Booking without fare alertsSet a price alert — buying on impulse at peak times is the surest way to overpay.
- Ignoring nearby airportsA 1–2 hour detour to a secondary airport can save hundreds of pounds on long-haul.
Local tips
- Say "Bonjour" when entering a shop — it's considered rude not to.
- TGV tickets get expensive close to departure — book Prem's fares months ahead.
- Tipping isn't expected — service is included ("service compris"). Round up or leave a few euros for great service.
- Many shops close for lunch in small towns — plan around the 12–2pm pause.
