France is one of the world's most connected countries. Paris has two major airports (CDG and Orly), and regional airports in Nice, Lyon, Marseille, and Bordeaux mean you can often skip Paris entirely. From Europe, budget airlines fly for €30–80 return. From the US, expect $400–800 round trip. Here's how to find the best deals.
