Paris eSIM: Mainland France and Corsica
A Paris eSIM connects to the Orange network and covers mainland France and Corsica. Overseas territories and Monaco fall outside that coverage and need a dedicated profile. It is a 5G data-only plan, with no voice service attached to it. Its days begin at your first connection in France, not on the day you buy.
12 plans for France, from 1 GB at $3.99 to 20 GB at $17.99, plus 6 unlimited-data tiers. 5 GB for 30 days costs $7.99 — 27th cheapest of 56 in Europe, against a $7.99 median. Our retail prices from the operator catalogue, checked 13 September 2026.

Where this profile does not reach:Does not include overseas territories (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Reunion, French Polynesia, New Caledonia, French Guiana, Mayotte) or Monaco — choose a dedicated eSIM for those.
Landing at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
The eSIM does nothing at all until you switch data roaming on for its line. Install the profile at home first, where Wi-Fi handles the download for you. Once you are at Charles de Gaulle, open Settings and pick the eSIM for mobile data. Leave the roaming switch on your home SIM alone while you are doing it. On Android, globalapnfr.com goes into the APN field, and an iPhone asks for nothing. First-usage validity means an early purchase spends none of the plan before you arrive.
Which plan for Paris
The French catalogue runs two ladders, one for fixed data and one for unlimited. Fixed data ran from 1 GB over seven days to 20 GB over thirty, checked 5 September 2026. Unlimited lengths span three days at one end and thirty days at the other. Airalo listed the 1 GB seven-day plan at $3.99 on 5 September 2026. The thirty-day unlimited pass was priced at $56.99 on the same date. A top-up can be added to this eSIM within 120 days of its activation. Recharging happens online, and the balance carries no expiry once bought. Corsica is included in the coverage, while the overseas territories and Monaco are not.
Registration rules in France
France asks nothing of a traveller who brings this profile into the country. The France country page found no confirmed trap for a data-only eSIM of this sort. You buy the roaming profile without any local registration anywhere in the country. Installing it on the handset is the only step left for you to take.
The 120-day window on top-ups
A top-up can be added to this eSIM within 120 days of activation. That window opens at the first connection, not on the day you paid. Past 120 days the route to more data is a fresh purchase. A fortnight in Paris sits nowhere near the limit. A long stay split across two trips is where the number starts to bite. France states the window on the profile itself, checked 5 September 2026.
