France eSIM for Travellers: Paris, the Riviera and Beyond
Travel eSIM data in 210+ countries
Visiting Paris, Nice, Lyon or the French countryside? A travel eSIM gives you mobile data as soon as you land, for maps, the Metro, ride apps and messages – without roaming bills.
Why use an eSIM here
- Data from the moment you land at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Orly or Nice.
- No local SIM shop or paperwork on arrival.
- Keep your home number for calls and bank texts.
- One plan can also cover other European countries.
How to get connected in 3 steps
- Choose your plan on our eSIM page and enter code CONNECT at checkout.
- Install the eSIM before you travel by scanning the QR code you receive by email (most recent iPhones, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones support eSIM).
- Turn on the eSIM line and data roaming for it when you land – your normal SIM can stay in the phone for calls and texts.
Travel tips
- Metro and train apps work best with data – keep enough for travel days.
- Download offline maps before you visit the countryside.
- Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi before you fly.

Questions travellers ask
Can I use one eSIM in France and other European countries?
Yes. A Europe plan covers France and many other European countries on one eSIM.
When should I install it?
Install it a day or two before you fly, while you are on Wi-Fi at home. Then turn the eSIM line on when you land.
Does my phone support eSIM?
Most recent iPhones (XS and newer), Samsung Galaxy S and Z models and Google Pixel phones support eSIM. Your phone must also be unlocked. You can check under Settings: if you see “Add eSIM” or “Add mobile plan”, it is supported.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and my normal number?
Yes. The eSIM only gives you data. Your normal SIM and number stay in the phone, and WhatsApp keeps working with your usual number.
