Travel to France from Valencia
The shortest hop from Valencia to France takes around 1 hour 15 minutes, and even the longest direct route is only about 2 hours. Vueling flies to several French cities, including Paris, Nice, Marseille and Bordeaux.
Nice and Marseille share Valencia’s Mediterranean climate, while the north, the Atlantic coast and the Alps offer very different trips. The search tool on this page shows every destination available on your dates.
What documents you need to travel to France
France and Spain are both in the European Union and the Schengen Area, so Spanish and other EU citizens only need a valid national ID card (the DNI, for Spaniards) or passport, with no visa or extra paperwork.
Schengen flights require the physical Spanish ID card (DNI). The digital DNI is only valid on flights within Spain, never on international routes. Make sure it has not expired before you book. Children travelling with you each need their own. If you hold a non-EU nationality, check whether you need a visa on the travel documents page.
What to know when you land in France
Airport to city centre. Paris is the one that needs planning. Its airports are a long way from the city and public transport takes between 30 minutes and an hour, so it is worth checking the route before you book somewhere to stay. Nice is the opposite: the airport sits right by the Promenade des Anglais and the tram reaches the centre in under 30 minutes. Marseille and Bordeaux both have a shuttle bus or tram straight from the terminal.
The TGV. France’s high-speed rail network makes it easy to get around and to string several cities into one trip. Paris to Lyon takes 2 hours, while Bordeaux is about 2 hours and Marseille a little over 3 from the capital. Stations are in the city centres, too, so you can arrive in one city and head home from another without doubling back.
Mealtimes. People in France eat earlier than in Spain. Lunch runs from 12:00 to 14:00 and dinner from 19:30, with many kitchens closing after 22:00. At 22:30, you may struggle to find a table for dinner.
Climate by region. The south, from Marseille to Nice, has a Mediterranean climate much like Valencia’s, with hot, dry summers. Paris and the north are noticeably cooler and wetter, and in the Alps temperatures drop below 0°C in winter.
The currency is the euro, and plugs are types C and E, at 230V. French is the official language, and English gets you by in tourist areas.
What to do in France
Paris and the north
Paris packs the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay alongside Notre-Dame and the Eiffel Tower, all within walking distance of each other. Le Marais, Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés feel like 3 different cities, and the Palace of Versailles is around 40 minutes away on the RER.
The French Riviera and Provence
In Nice you land by the sea, and the coastal train reaches Cannes, Antibes and Monaco in under an hour. Marseille is the gateway to Provence: the Calanques, Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and, in summer, the lavender fields of the Luberon.
Bordeaux and the south-west
Bordeaux has been transformed in recent years and is now one of the most appealing cities in the country, with a historic centre that is a World Heritage Site. Saint-Émilion is 30 minutes away, and the Arcachon dune sits on the Atlantic coast.
The Alps by train
Chamonix, Annecy and Grenoble can all be reached by train from Lyon or Paris. Winter brings high-mountain skiing, and summer hiking and Alpine lakes. They are best given several days rather than treated as a day trip from another city.
Luggage for your flight to France
What you can pack depends on the fare you book. The simplest fare includes a personal item that fits under the seat in front, and from there you can add cabin or checked luggage.
For a trip of a few days, cabin luggage is usually enough. If you are visiting several cities or travelling in the colder months with heavy clothes, think about how much space you need before you finalise your booking. Check the current conditions in Vueling’s luggage policy.
Frequently asked questions about flying from Valencia to France
Which French cities can I fly to direct from Valencia?
Direct destinations include Paris, Nice, Marseille and Bordeaux, spread across the north, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic side of the country. From any of them, the TGV links you to the rest of France. To see every destination and check availability for your dates, use the search tool on this page.
How long is the flight from Valencia to France?
Flights from Valencia to Nice or Marseille, in the south, can take less than 1 hour 30 minutes, as both sit just across the Mediterranean. Flights north to Paris take around 2 hours. Times can vary with conditions on the day and the specific route flown.
Do I need a visa to fly from Valencia to France?
Not if you are a Spanish or other EU citizen. France and Spain are both in the European Union and the Schengen Area, so a valid national ID card (the physical DNI, for Spaniards) or passport is enough. The digital DNI is accepted only within Spain. If you hold a non-EU nationality, check the entry requirements before you book.
Do I need to plan the journey from the Paris airports to the centre?
Paris is the French destination where it pays most to plan this, because its airports are far from the centre. Public transport takes between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on which airport you land at and which part of the city you are going to, so work it out before you book somewhere to stay.
When is the best time to visit France from Valencia?
That depends on what you want to do. Spring and autumn work well for almost the whole country. Summer is the season for the south and the coast, from Marseille to Nice. Winter has its own charm in Paris, and it is peak season in the Alps for anyone heading to Chamonix or Grenoble for the snow.
Do flights from Valencia to France earn Vueling Club points?
Yes, they do whenever Vueling operates the flight, and joining the programme is free. You collect tier points on every flight. As you move up a tier, you get priority boarding: Priority boarding from the Plus tier and the highest boarding priority at the Premium tier, which makes a difference at busy airports.
