SIM cards in France

Hi everyone, I'm looking for tips on which internet carrier is best fo a 3 week visit to France. We will get local SIM cards for our phones but are not sure which carrier would be best. We will be staying in France for our whole trip. Thanks for any advice.

The primary operators are: FREE, Orange, SFR, and Bouygues. The various offers often change and all have boutiques where you can go for assistance. I have seen Orange sales desks at CDG customs exits, which makes setting up service quick and easy for those arriving (they are not typically open much before 09h00 if your flight arrives before then).

I don’t think it makes a great deal of difference for someone looking for just a few weeks of service. Consider using whichever company is the most convenient.

Orange has the best coverage and the most stores to help you set up. Price differences won't matter for a three-week trip.
