Flights to France - Overview
There is an ever increasing range of cheap flights to France available from most UK international airports. Flights to France can roughly be divided into three main categories - flights to Paris, flights to other major cities such as Toulouse and Nice, and flights to rural destinations.
Cheap flights to Paris
See our cheap flights to Paris page for further details about the best ways of getting to the French capital, including comparisons for getting to the centre of Paris from the three major international airports which serve the city. Increasing numbers of passengers are also choosing to travel from London to Paris with Eurostar. Additionally, Eurostar offer connecting services to many other French cities, either via Paris or Lille.
Other major French Cities
The availability of flights to major French cities such as Nice, Toulouse, Lyon, Marseille and Bordeaux varies greatly from one UK airport to the next. Despite each city having a number of important businesses, only Lyon and Toulouse have a significant range of links from outside London, with Toulouse in particular having flights from Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester, largely due to the cities' aerospace industry.
During the ski season regular charter flights are available to Toulouse and Lyon, as well as a number of budget airline options. If you are unable to find direct flights to any of these cities from your local airport, then regular connecting shuttle flights are available from Paris, although because Air France have a virtual monopoly on these routes, prices are never particularly attractive.
Rural France
A growing range of flights to rural France have become available from an increasing number of regional airports as well as London. This market is led by budget airline Ryanair, although Flybe are also expanding on a number of niche routes into France. Destinations such as Perpignan, Bergerac, Nantes and La Rochelle have all seen rapid expansion recently.
Flights to France with Onward Train Connections
Another key point to consider when searching for flights to France is that the effective distance between many major cities has been shrunk massively due to the development of the high-speed TGV train network. The fastest links are down the north to south spine between Paris and Marseille, via Lyon and Avignon. Other TGV routes radiating out from Paris operate to Rennes and onwards into Brittany, to Tours and the Atlantic region, and northwards to Lille, where the route divides towards the Channel Tunnel in one direction and Belgium in the other. The new route heading east from Paris towards Strasbourg, Luxembourg and Frankfurt is currently under construction.

Mini guide to France
France's profile received a considerable boost in 2006 - ironically enough, with the release of two of those American movies the country's cultural mavens have been so vocal in resisting. Paris, the French capital, doesn't really need the help of the film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code to attract tourists to what's forever billed as the city of eternal romance; though the countryside that featured so memorably in another literary phenomenon, Peter Mayle's A Year In Provence, doubtless received a similar boost when the big-screen version, starring Russell Crowe, arrived later in the year.
Away from what's destined to become the tourist trail, France boasts several up-and-coming destinations, such as second city Lyon and sports-mad Toulouse, while wine enthusiasts continue to head in the direction of Bordeaux. Skiing and other winter sports naturally feature prominently as the country sprawls out towards the Alps and Pyrenees, and - at wildly variant ends of the economic spectrum - there are day-trip possibilities aplenty in and around both Monaco, boasting all the glamour of the casino, and Calais, with the lure of the low-cost booze cruise.
