Does data work well on the Paris subway (Metro)?

Yes. On a large part of the Paris Metro, you can get a 4G internet connection. In particular, you can use data smoothly inside the stations of major lines such as Line 1 and Line 14. However, the signal may weaken in some older tunnel sections, so we recommend saving offline maps in advance.

Can I use my France eSIM in other European countries?

It depends on the plan. Thanks to the EU roaming policy, some France eSIM plans also let you use data in European Union countries such as Germany, Italy and Spain. Be sure to check the exact countries and conditions on the plan's details page before you buy. If you are travelling to several countries together, we recommend comparing Europe regional eSIM plans as well.

Is the connection good around sights such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre?

Yes. At the major sights in central Paris, both the Orange and SFR networks are very reliable. Even in crowded places such as the square by the Eiffel Tower, the square in front of the Louvre and the Champs-Élysées, you can share your location in real time and upload photos at 4G speeds. However, when it gets extremely crowded in peak season, speeds may slow down somewhat.

Do I need an adapter because France's outlet type is different from Korea's?

France uses Type C/E outlets. Korea's standard plugs (Type F) can mostly be plugged straight into France's Type C/E outlets, so in many cases you can use them without a separate adapter. However, they may not fit in some older accommodation, so packing one small multi-adapter gives you peace of mind.

Does data work well in the French countryside and small villages?

France's major cities and tourist areas boast coverage of close to 99%, but the signal may weaken now and then in places such as very small rural villages in Alsace or Normandy and deep in mountain areas. In most major tourist areas, such as Provence, the Côte d'Azur and the Loire Valley, 4G connects well.

Does eSIM work in France?

France supports eSIM, and plans start from ₩1,642. Install it with the QR code you receive after buying, then just turn on data roaming after you arrive and you are connected straight away. There is no need to swap your SIM.

Travel eSIM or carrier roaming: which is cheaper for a trip to France?

For a short trip or light data use, a travel eSIM is usually cheaper. Unlimited roaming from Korean carriers costs about ₩11,000–₩15,000 a day, but with an eSIM you can buy just the days of data you need in advance. For a short trip for one or two people, an eSIM has a big advantage; for a family or very heavy data use, compare carrier unlimited roaming too.

Which carrier network does a France eSIM use?

In France it connects automatically to local carrier networks such as Orange · SFR · Bouygues Telecom · Free Mobile (4G/LTE, 5G where supported). Population coverage is about 99%. It picks the network with the strongest signal automatically, so there is nothing to set up.

Can I keep using my Korean number while travelling in France?

Yes. The eSIM works as a data-only second line, so your Korean SIM and number stay as they are. Use the Yeohaengyusim eSIM for data only, and keep receiving calls, texts and KakaoTalk on your Korean number.

Can I add to or extend my France eSIM plan?

Yes. When you use up your data or the plan period ends, you can buy a new plan at any time. Keep using the eSIM profile you already installed; there is no need to install it again, so you carry on without interruption.

Can I use tethering (hotspot) in France?

Yes. In France you can share your eSIM data with other devices such as a laptop or tablet by tethering (hotspot). Shared data also comes out of your plan allowance, so if you tether a lot we recommend choosing a little more data.

Do I set up the eSIM before I leave or after I arrive?

We recommend installing it (registering the QR code) before you leave, while you have Wi-Fi. Data starts when you turn on data roaming after you arrive in France. Just remember "set up before you leave, switch on when you arrive" and you can use the internet as soon as you land.

Imagine taking a souvenir photo beneath the Eiffel Tower, coming face to face with the Mona Lisa at the Louvre and looking out over the panorama of Paris from the hill of Montmartre. France is a key destination for travel in Europe, alive with art, food and romance. From the beaches of the Côte d'Azur in the south of France to Chamonix at the foot of the Alps and Bordeaux, where vineyards stretch endlessly, there are so many places beyond Paris that you cannot miss. But to avoid getting lost in unfamiliar European territory, a reliable data connection is essential. Without having to hunt around for a local SIM or worry about expensive roaming charges, get ready before departure Korea with a single Yeohaengyusim eSIM. Right after landing at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, Google Maps and your translation apps are up and running.

Why you really need a travel eSIM for France

France is a country with a well-developed transport system and tourist infrastructure, but for Korean travellers the language barrier is higher than you might think. You need data at every moment: changing trains on the Paris metro, checking your Palace of Versailles booking, looking up restaurants' Google reviews, checking train timetables in real time and more. Buying a SIM yourself in France requires passport registration, and the SIM shops at the airport have long queues, so it is easy to waste time. With a Yeohaengyusim eSIM, you can complete the installation with a single QR code before departure. Running on the Orange and SFR networks, it provides 99% coverage across France, and you can enjoy reliable 4G/LTE and 5G speeds not only in central Paris but also in regional cities such as Nice, Lyon and Marseille. You don't need to physically swap SIM cards, and your existing Korean number stays as it is, so there is no hassle after you return home either. If you will be moving between several countries on your trip to Europe, take a look at regional eSIM plans as well.
