Visa Requirements
All U.S. and Canadian citizens, including infants, need a valid passport to enter France. Visas are not required for American
and Canadian visitors staying in France for up to 90 days. For more information, contact your nearest French Consulate.
It
is mandatory in France to carry some form of identification at all times. If you lose your passport, the nearest U.S. Consulate
will issue Americans a limited-validity replacement if travel is imminent, or a full-validity passport if further travel is
not within two weeks. When in France, please carry a photocopy of your passport separately from your passport. The copy will
facilitate issuance of a replacement ($75 fee for adults, $85 for children). The American Embassy in Paris is at 2, avenue
Gabriel, tel. 01 43 12 22 22. The Passport Section is nearby at 4, avenue Gabriel (open 9a.m.-noon, Monday- Friday). There
are other Consular Offices in Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Rennes, Strasbourg and Toulouse that provide assistance
to American citizens.
