France eSIM | Travel Data Plan with Instant Activation

Why use an eSIM in France?

1
Paris is heavily app-mediated for tourists — RATP for the Métro, museum reservations for the Louvre and Orsay (which sell out), and Citymapper for navigation.
2
Outside Paris, French signage rarely uses English. Translation apps and Google Maps are essential — and they need data.
3
TGV trains across France have continuous LTE — perfect for working remotely between Paris, Lyon, and the south.

5G live in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux. 4G LTE nationwide including the TGV high-speed rail network.

Will the eSIM work in the Paris Métro?

Yes — the entire RATP network has LTE coverage in stations and most tunnels.

Does it cover TGV high-speed trains?

Yes — France's TGV network has continuous LTE the entire route, including Paris–Lyon, Paris–Marseille, and the Eurostar tunnel approach.

Can I use it across all of France including Corsica?

Yes — France-only plans cover metropolitan France and Corsica. For multi-country Europe trips, the Europe regional plan is better value.

Will Google Maps and Citymapper work?

Yes — both work normally on any data plan.

How much data for a 5-day Paris trip?

3–5 GB is comfortable for daily Métro use, museum apps, maps, and social posting.
