Direct

A direct flight takes you there on one plane, with no stops.

With one stop

If there is no direct flight from your UK airport to the place you want, or none on your dates, we can price flights that change planes on the way, which take longer, or a direct flight from another UK airport.

Tell us your dates and we will price each option, so you can weigh the fare against the time.

Before you fly

Passport

Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before the day you arrive, and must be valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area.

Visa

France is in the Schengen area. On a British citizen passport you can visit without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180 day period. The 90 days count across all Schengen countries, including any visits in the 180 days before this trip.

Entry/Exit System (EES)

The EU’s Entry/Exit System started on 12 October 2025. On a UK passport, you may be asked to register your fingerprints and a photo at the border when you arrive. It is free, there is nothing to do before you travel, and the record lasts 3 years. GOV.UK’s EES guide has the details.

ETIAS

GOV.UK says the EU is expected to start ETIAS, the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, from autumn 2026, and that no action is required from travellers at this point. The EU will announce the start date first, and GOV.UK says any website selling ETIAS now is fraudulent.

At the border

At French border control you may be asked for proof of travel insurance, proof that you have enough money for your stay, proof of where you are staying, and a return or onward ticket.

Staying with family or friends

You may be asked for a welcome invitation (attestation d’accueil). Your host gets it from their local mayor’s office and sends you the original before you travel.

Travel advice

Read the FCDO travel advice for France before you book. It says there is a high risk of wildfires in the summer season, from April to October. The advice changes, so read it again before you fly.
