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?
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.
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
