Cost of traveling in France

France is an expensive country to visit, much more so than Portugal or Spain, but less so than Austria, Israel, or the Nordic countries. Because the cost of living in France is higher than in many other countries, many daily and travel expenses are relatively high. The amount you will spend per day is difficult to predict because it is highly dependent on the type of traveler you are.

One of the most expensive aspects of any trip is lodging. A room for two in a cheap hotel in France will cost 50-100 Euros, an average hotel will cost 100-200 Euros, and a luxury hotel will cost well over 200 Euros. These prices may be even higher during the peak season. Low-cost hotels are also available, which are especially useful for those traveling by car. These are typically found in non-tourist areas and are thus inexpensive. As previously stated, one of France's most popular attractions is its famous and historically significant museums and monuments. However, nearly all of these attractions require payment, and tickets are not inexpensive. That is why the cost of traveling in France is high!
