I'm a dual citizen of America and France with my resident based in the America. Can I travel to the EU using my French passport?
It highly depends on which country you're flying in to. There's lots of talk on the chat about this and a few Americans have been able to enter via Italy, Croatia and a few other countries.
If you have an EU citizenship, you should almost certainly be able to enter the EU though.
I'm thinking to head over to France during the winter and I'm looking for recommendations on a good French town that has beach and is warm enough during the winter.
What are your favourites? Any recommendation is appreciated.
Hey @amin,
Winter in France is not really warm... your best bet would be in South of France / Corsica.
My recommandations would be :
- Cannes (a lot of nice beach, you aslo have the lérins island that are amazing)
- Antibes or Menton (if you are looking for something little bit smaller)
- Nice (no sand beach and big city)
In Corsica, I can recommand : Calvi, Ajaccio and Bonifacio !
Have fun !
Hey Guillaume,
Thanks for your recommendations!
Which of these places in Corsica, Antibes or Menton is your favourite and why?
Hi, I live in France and I planned to travel to Chiang Mai in the 01/24.
We are in December, do you think there is enough time to vaccination, visa?
Can I take a touristic visa from 01/24 to 04/22? Do I need to bight round trip flight ticket to get it?
Thank you
Seems like a few here could use this as a way to get to Europe
