France FAQ

Should you travel to France right now?
You should travel to France now, but it's advisable to exercise increased caution. The U.S. Department of State advises this due to risks of terrorism, civil unrest, and petty crime like pickpocketing and phone theft. France's national security alert system is currently at the highest level, 'attack emergency', and terrorists are known to target tourist areas. Stay informed by checking local news, following your embassy's advice, and being vigilant in public spaces and transportation hubs.
What is the best month to go to France?
The best months to visit France are during the shoulder seasons of Spring (April to June) and Fall (September to November). These periods offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and lower prices compared to the summer peak. For warm weather and outdoor activities like beach-going or enjoying lavender fields, summer (July to August) is popular but very crowded and hot.
