eSIM for France: which plan to pick

Q: Will one eSIM cover both Paris and the French Riviera?

Yes, a Funsim local plan for France works nationwide, including Paris, Nice and Lyon.

Q: What should I get if my trip also includes Italy or Spain?

In that case a regional Europe plan is more convenient — check the plans page, it's designed for trips across several Schengen countries at once.

Q: Does the internet work in the Paris metro?

Coverage exists on most stations and lines, though brief signal drops are possible in deep tunnels, same as with local carriers.

From Paris to the French Riviera, France is one of Europe's most visited destinations. Here's which eSIM to get so your internet works in the capital and in the south alike.

How much data do you need for France

For a week in Paris with metro navigation, museums and social media, 3–5 GB is usually enough. For a trip that includes Nice, Lyon or the Loire Valley châteaux with heavy map use, get 8 GB or more.

Coverage in Paris, Nice and Lyon

Coverage is fast and reliable almost everywhere in Paris, Nice and Lyon, including the Paris metro. In rural areas and the Alps, speeds can be lower.

If your route covers several European countries

For a trip that isn't limited to France and also covers neighboring Schengen countries, a Funsim regional Europe plan is more convenient — it covers several countries at once instead of a separate eSIM for each.
