France has long been a favourite destination for flights from the UK and Ireland. The reasons still exist - romantic cities, rugged north west coastlines, Mediterranean south coast, many wine growing regions, excellent food, and of course, winter sports in the Alps and the Pyrenees. The island of Corsica has 4 airports listed giving good access to this attractive Mediterranean island. You will find flights to France being provided by major airlines, low-cost airlines, and due to the relatively short distances involved to some airports, some very small airlines. The climate will vary from being typically Mediterranean in the south, to something similar to southern England in the north. France is a member of the European Union and the currency is the Euro. France is also a Schengen country. |
