    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do Indians need a visa for Paris?

    Yes — a Schengen visa is mandatory, applied for through the French consulate or VFS before travel. It cannot be obtained on arrival.

    Is the Paris Museum Pass worth it?

    Yes, if you plan to visit 3 or more major sights (Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Arc de Triomphe, Sainte-Chapelle) in a few days — it also lets you skip most ticket lines.

    How many days do I need in Paris?

    4–5 nights covers the major landmarks and museums comfortably, with a day left over for a Versailles day trip.
