Travel tips from CHO

Under 26 and living in the EU? Walk in free

The permanent collections of France’s national museums have been free to 18-to-25-year-olds resident in an EU country since 2009, and the national monuments — châteaux, abbeys, fortresses — apply the same rule. Bring photo ID: it is checked at the door. The monuments are also free to everyone on the first Sunday of the month in winter, from November to March.

In September, the doors that are usually shut open

For one long weekend every September, some fifty European countries run the European Heritage Days together: palaces, workshops, archives and private houses that are closed the rest of the year let visitors in, almost always for nothing. France sets its own dates, and they are published a few weeks ahead.

Arrive already connected

Maps, opening hours and tickets all need data, and roaming outside your own network still costs more than the ticket. A travel eSIM for France installs on your phone before you leave home and works the moment you land — no queue at the airport, no physical card to swap.
