Tips for France
- Paris Metro has mobile coverage on most lines, so a fixed-GB plan works fine underground.
- If you're adding Belgium, Switzerland or Italy, price a Europe regional plan first. Note that Switzerland is outside EU roaming rules.
- Free public Wi-Fi is common in Paris, but use a VPN on open networks.
