France for visitors

Communications
France > Basics > Communications

With France's efficient postal system you should have no problem keeping in contact with people at home. The Internet is becoming more widely accessible and, should you need to make a phonecall, you can use cheap pre-paid cards or access home-country operators via free numbers.

French newspapers (not to mention radio and television) will be of less interest if you're not a reader (or speaker) of French. There are some local English-language magazines, but you'll probably find yourself reaching for an international edition of a British or American newspaper or an international news magazine to keep up with current events. These are available in major cities and tourist centres.


Pages in section ‘Communications’: Mail, Telephones, Email, The media, TV and radio.
