France ↗France is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors' fingerprints and photo at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
France ↗TGV (including the low-cost Ouigo) and Intercités night trains need a seat reservation: a rail pass alone does not let you board.
France ↗Paris, Lyon and other large cities run low-emission zones that require a Crit'Air sticker on cars; check before you drive a hire car or your own car into a city.
France ↗Carry your passport or national ID card: police can ask for identification, and hotels register foreign guests.
Paris ↗The Louvre, Sainte-Chapelle, the Eiffel Tower and most monuments refuse suitcases and large bags at security and have no reliable storage: leave big bags at the hotel and carry a day bag.
Paris ↗The Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle and the Eiffel Tower sell timed entry: book the slot on the official site before you go, and remember that the Louvre closes on Tuesdays and the Musée d'Orsay on Mondays.
