Flights to France - A Busy Time with French Open 2008
Few places in the world conjure up the romantic feel that the very mention of France does. France has an aura so bewitching, a spectrum so vast and a culture so rich that any one will fall for it. The first thing that strikes you here is the conscious effort to do away with all things English. If you are planning to visit this multi-faceted city, make the most of your tour by coinciding it with the French Open 2008 or Cannes Film Festival.

A cursory glance through any world travel guide will tell you what kind of documents you need to carry or how you can get your French Visa approved fast. Flights to France are frequent from all over the world and the major airports in this country are Charles De Gaulle, Paris Orly International Airport, Bordeaux International Airport, and Côte d'Azur Airport.

Flights to France increase manifold during events like the Paris Fashion Week, Paris Book Fair, and Cannes Film Festival. Most of the flights to Paris land at the Charles De Gaulle International airport that is one of the busiest airports in Europe. It is also an important transit point. But with the French Open 2008 knocking at the doors, airline services have literally been doubled. The official French airline is Air France. Airliners like American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta, United Airlines, North West Airlines, provide daily flights to Paris from USA.

Daily flights to France are also available from UK with British Airways, Blue Bird Express and Caledonian Airlines doing the rounds. If you are planning a Paris tour during the French Open 2008 make sure you have your flights as well as your pick of hotels in Paris booked well in advance. You might miss out on the finer points about the hotels in the ensuing excitement of judging whether Justin Henin defends her trophy or not.

If you really want to enjoy the very essence and being of the City of Light, try to find a hotel that is close to the Concorde, Arc de Triumph or Champs Elysses. Known as the fashionable hub of Paris these places are ideal for a leisurely walk, a shopping spree in the leading fashion stores of the world, or a horse ride in the dusk. The choice is yours. Some of the well-known hotel chains in Paris are InterContinental, Ritz, Hilton and Best Western.

It is expected that flights to France are going to increase during the Cannes Film Festival. Côte d'Azur Airport situated in Nice, which is approximately 25 kilometers away from Cannes, becomes one of the busiest hubs during this time. Flights traverse to and fro from North America, Europe and Africa as well.

It takes a mere 2 hours from London while from New York it takes 7 long hours. But the journey to Cannes is rewarding in ways more than one. After you are done and exhausted with celebrity stalking you can always take recourse to other activities like sun bathing and yachting. If luck is on your side you might also chance upon Emma Thomson or Cate Blanchett (the celebrities love to soak in the sun n’ sand).

With the advent of economy traveling and budget airliners, cheap flights to France are also available readily. Leading hotel chains in France sometimes offer schemes wherein a whole package is custom made for you which includes your hotel fare as well as your airfare at discounted rates. If your Paris tour is going to extend for more than a couple of weeks or more you can also try out the apartments in and around Paris that provide a luxurious stay at a reasonable tariff.
