Practical Information
Currency
The official currency of Paris (and all of France) is the Euro (EUR); One Euro consists of 100 cents.
ATMs are widely available, and credit/debit cards are commonly accepted. However, it’s still a good idea to carry some cash, especially for small purchases, cafés, or local markets.
Power Outlet
France uses plug types C and E. Plug type C has two round pins, while type E has two round pins with a hole for the socket’s grounding pin. The standard voltage is 230V with a frequency of 50Hz.
Medication
If you are taking prescription medication, it’s recommended to bring enough for your entire stay. French regulations allow travelers to carry personal medication for their own use. However, you should carry a copy of your prescription and keep medicines in their original packaging. Importing medicines by mail to private individuals is generally restricted.
Visa and Entry
France is part of the Schengen Area.
Nationals of many countries can enter France visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism or business purposes. Travelers from countries not exempt must apply for a Schengen visa before arrival.
