France has its own doorway into India: Puducherry, the former French trading post on the Coromandel coast, where mustard-yellow colonial villas line streets that still carry French names, a short drive from the experimental township of Auroville. Many of our French guests weave it into a south India journey with Chennai's temples and the backwaters of Kerala. In the north, August travellers escape the rains by heading up to Ladakh - a landscape of high passes and Buddhist monasteries that has long fascinated French trekkers - while winter visitors settle into the classic arc of Rajasthan. A French-speaking guide can often be arranged if you request one when booking.
For a second journey - or an unhurried first one - the deep south rewards the French taste for culture taken slowly. Begin in Chennai and the shore temples of Mahabalipuram, continue through Puducherry's Franco-Tamil streets, then inland to the great Chola temple of Thanjavur before dropping west into Kerala for the backwaters and the spice hills of Munnar. It is a route of long lunches, temple sculpture and coastal light rather than fort-after-fort sightseeing. Photographers and textile lovers should keep a day for Kanchipuram's silk looms. In the north, meanwhile, the Rajasthan classics pair naturally with a stay in a heritage palace hotel - the French invented the château stay, but India's maharajas perfected the idea independently, and sleeping in one is half the point of the trip.
Bon a Savoir
- E-tickets for the Taj Mahal and major monuments can be bought online, skipping the ticket queues.
- Travelling in August? Pack a light rain layer for the monsoon plains - or head high to Ladakh.
- Chai arrives sweet and milky by default; ask for 'without sugar' if you prefer it plain.
- Some monuments charge a small extra fee for cameras - keep coins handy.
India Travel FAQ for Visitors from France
How do French travellers get an Indian visa?
Yes. French citizens qualify for India's tourist e-Visa, issued online through the official Government of India portal, indianvisaonline.gov.in. Apply at least a week before departure, print the approval and make sure your passport is valid for six months beyond your arrival date.
What currency do I pay in, and can I pay from France?
Quotes are fixed in Indian rupees rather than euro (EUR), which protects you from exchange-rate movement between booking and travel. A card payment through our online Pay page confirms the booking; the balance can be paid the same way or in rupees in Delhi.
What time can I call you from France?
9 am to 9 pm Indian Standard Time, every day of the week, or 4.30 am to 4.30 pm Central European Time, or 5.30 am to 5.30 pm during summer time for you. For anything outside those hours, email or WhatsApp us on +91 8448228850; every message gets a reply the following morning in Delhi.

Delhi (DEL). Indira Gandhi International Airport sits on the doorstep of the Golden Triangle, our Delhi office is about half an hour away by road, and airport pick-up is included in every package. Air France and Air India fly nonstop from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Delhi in about 8 hours. From Lyon, Marseille, Nice or Toulouse you connect once in Paris or through a Gulf hub.
When is the best time for French travellers to visit India?
October to March is the best season for Delhi, Agra, Rajasthan and Varanasi and fits the Toussaint, Christmas and February holidays. For July and August travel we suggest Ladakh, Kashmir or Himachal Pradesh, which sit above the monsoon.
