Tourist sim card for France

Is your phone unlocked? Do you need a Sim card or esim? Do you need phone service and data or just data?

Airalo is a good esim - I used it in England.

I'm using an Airalo eSIM in France right now. It has generslly been solid since June 25, tbough the signal sometimes drops when I'm on a train passing through a rural area.

I've never used an eSIM in the French Alps.

whichever vendor you choose, do some google to see if you can find a discount code. Travel vloggers often have these companies as sponsors and you can save a few dollars. Note that they rarely include phone service, just data.

If you need the ability to call French numbers, look into Free. I'm very pleased with my service. They're the only bricks-and-mortar French cell service provider I've found that sells to Americans and gives them French phone numbers. They accept US credit cards for payment.

I used an Orange esim while in Eastern France in May. We went as far as the Dauphiné but not into the Alps. I mainly picked Orange since it is a major provider in France. No problems with connectivity. As mentioned above, your phone has to be unlocked to use an esim.
