FAQs

Question

Where is the nearest airport?

Answer

Question

Will I be able to drive in France?

Answer

Yes! Visitors from the U.S. can legally drive in France using a valid U.S. driver’s license. While an International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended, it’s not strictly required for short visits. Keep in mind that driving is on the right side of the road (just like in the U.S.), but many rental cars are manual—so be sure to request an automatic if needed. Most major car rental companies are also available in France. We recommend booking your rental car in advance and brushing up on French road signs and toll systems for a smooth experience!
