Websites of all Tourist Offices.
French Tourist Offices
Regional, departmental, and local French tourist offices (including overseas territories).
Consulates
Remember that it is consulates or consular agents—not embassies (which handle only diplomatic relations between countries)—that you must contact if you need a tourist visa or other services. However, if a country does not have a specific consulate, the embassy assumes consular duties.
Note that many foreign consulates outside the capital serve only as "relay points" for their nationals or handle commercial interests and are not authorized to issue visas.
Contact Details
For France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada. For addresses of foreign consular representations in your country or your country’s representations abroad, the best approach is to consult your Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
In addition to providing complete and up-to-date contact details, these ministries sometimes include useful information about consular services, such as whether a visa can be obtained at a provincial consulate.
Vaccination Centers
In many countries, including France, while any doctor can administer most vaccines, this is not the case for yellow fever. This vaccination can only be performed at approved centers (which may also provide other vaccines).
Note that many of these centers only offer vaccinations on specific days or by appointment, so it’s best to check ahead.
Airlines
Contact details and representations of airlines through their websites.
Travel Bookstores
Specialized travel bookstores can be found in around fifteen French cities, as well as in Belgium, Switzerland, and Quebec.
