How much does a Paris trip cost from India?

A week in Paris from India costs about Rs. 1,20,000 to Rs. 2,50,000 per person, from a budget to a mid-range trip, with luxury travel costing more. It is one of the pricier overseas destinations for Indian travellers, as flights, the Schengen visa and European hotel and food prices all add up, so a careful budget matters. Where you land depends mainly on the season, the class of hotel and how much you spend on dining and attractions.


The table below breaks the trip down by expense, with each cost in rupees so you can size your own budget.


ExpenseApproximate cost (INR)What it covers and what drives it
Return flightsRs. 40,000 to Rs. 80,000 per personRound-trip India to Paris (Charles de Gaulle); season, city, class and booking time drive it
Schengen visaRs. 9,000 to Rs. 15,000 per personEmbassy fee, VFS service charge and mandatory travel insurance
AccommodationRs. 4,000 to Rs. 20,000 or more per nightHostels from Rs. 4,000; 3-star hotels Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 15,000; luxury higher
Food and local travelRs. 3,000 to Rs. 8,000 per dayBakeries and bistros to restaurants, plus a metro pass and transfers
Indicative total (7 days)Rs. 1,20,000 to Rs. 2,50,000 per personIncluding flights and the visa, budget to mid-range; luxury costs more

Planning note: These are indicative rupee figures that move with the season, demand and the exchange rate. Flights and accommodation are the largest parts of the total, so travelling in spring or autumn and booking early make the biggest difference. Apply for the Schengen visa well ahead, and confirm current fares, hotel rates and the visa fee before you book.

What drives the cost of a Paris trip?

The main factors affecting a Paris trip budget are return airfare, the Schengen visa, accommodation, food and local transport. The total cost also changes with the travel season, trip duration, departure city and travel style.


  • Flights: Return airfare to Paris can be one of the largest expenses. Prices vary with the departure city, travel dates, airline, class and how early you book.
  • Schengen visa: Indian travellers need a Schengen visa, with the embassy fee, VFS charge and mandatory insurance adding a fixed cost.
  • Accommodation: Hotel rates are high in Paris and depend on location and season. Hostels and budget hotels cost far less than central and luxury properties.
  • Activities: Attraction entry, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, and a Seine cruise add up, while some sights are free.
  • Food: Daily food spending depends on where you eat. Bakeries, bistros and markets cost far less than restaurant dining.
  • Local transport: The metro, RER and buses are the cheapest way around, while taxis and airport transfers cost more.
  • Travel season: Accommodation and airfare change with demand; spring, autumn and the quieter months are cheaper than the summer peak. Comparing travel dates can identify lower-cost options.
  • Trip duration: A longer stay increases spending on accommodation, food, transport and activities.

Therefore, travellers can control their Paris trip cost mainly by comparing travel dates, accommodation, transport and activities rather than focusing on a single expense.

What does the Paris visa cost for Indian travellers?

Indian travellers need a Schengen short-stay visa to visit Paris, as France is in the Schengen area, and the all-in cost sits in the middle of the budget, as shown in the cost breakdown above. You apply for it in advance, so plan for the fee and the processing time.


RequirementDetails
Visa feeAbout Rs. 9,000 to Rs. 15,000 per adult (embassy fee, VFS service charge and mandatory travel insurance)
Visa typeSchengen short-stay (Type C) tourist visa, applied for in advance
Permitted stayUp to 90 days within a 180-day period, as granted; first-time travellers may get a shorter validity
ApplicationApplied for through VFS Global for the French embassy; biometrics are required
PassportA valid passport with at least six months of validity and two blank pages
Return ticketProof of onward or return travel and a confirmed itinerary
AccommodationProof of confirmed accommodation for the stay
Other requirementsBank statements, income-tax returns, employment proof, travel insurance and evidence of sufficient funds
Travel planningApply about 4 to 6 weeks ahead, as processing takes about 10 to 20 days; confirm current fees and rules

The Schengen visa is mandatory for entry, so apply early and keep your documents ready. The entry decision remains subject to the applicable immigration requirements at the time of travel.

How can you plan and reduce your spending?

You can reduce your Paris trip cost by booking flights and accommodation early, using public transport, choosing reasonably priced neighbourhoods, eating at local cafés and planning paid attractions in advance.


  • Set a trip budget: Divide your budget between flights, accommodation, food, transport, sightseeing, visa, insurance and contingency expenses.
  • Choose your stay carefully: Compare accommodation prices across neighbourhoods and consider staying slightly outside the main tourist areas if public transport connections are convenient.
  • Use public transport: Metro, RER and buses can cost less than taking taxis for most city journeys.
  • Book major attractions ahead: Check official ticket prices and timed-entry requirements for attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum.
  • Balance paid and free activities: Combine museums and monuments with free options such as walking along the Seine, exploring Montmartre and visiting public gardens.
  • Control food costs: Mix restaurant meals with bakeries, cafés and supermarkets instead of dining out for every meal.
  • Travel with a daily limit: Set separate amounts for food, transport and discretionary spending so that one expensive day does not affect the rest of your trip.
  • Keep a contingency amount: Reserve funds for unexpected transport, medical or personal expenses.

For example, if your estimated Paris trip cost is Rs. 1,50,000, first allocate fixed expenses such as flights and accommodation. You can then set daily limits for food, transport and sightseeing and adjust optional activities if your spending starts exceeding the planned budget.

What are the top places to visit in Paris?

The top places to visit in Paris range from iconic landmarks and major museums to historic neighbourhoods and riverside walks. You can choose your stops based on your interests and group nearby attractions to spend less time travelling across the city. Paris’s official tourism office highlights the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre-Dame, Sacré-Cœur, Arc de Triomphe and Musée d’Orsay among its key attractions.

Seine RiverRiverside walks, bridges and sightseeing cruisesLeisure and photography
Sainte-ChapelleGothic architecture and extensive stained-glass windowsArchitecture and history
Luxembourg GardensGardens, walking areas and a quieter break from sightseeingFamilies and relaxed outings

How can you group Paris attractions?


You can organise your itinerary by neighbourhood rather than visiting attractions in random order. For example, the Louvre, Tuileries Garden and Seine can form one sightseeing route, while Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle can be explored together. Paris’s official tourism office also recommends grouping attractions by district to reduce travel time during a short visit.


For a 2–3-day Paris trip, prioritise the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Montmartre, Notre-Dame, Seine and one or two additional museums or monuments. This gives you a mix of landmarks, art, neighbourhoods and outdoor experiences without filling every hour with paid attractions.

How does a travel loan affect your monthly budget?

A personal loan adds an equated monthly instalment (EMI) to your existing commitments, so you should calculate the EMI and total repayment before choosing an amount and tenure. Suppose you are 33, based in Mumbai, with a net monthly income of Rs. 90,000 and a Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL) score of 775, and you borrow Rs. 2 lakh at 13% per annum for 36 months to fund the trip.


You can calculate the EMI using:

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)^n ÷ [(1 + r)^n − 1]

Where:

  • P: Rs. 2,00,000
  • r: monthly interest rate (13% per annum divided by 12)
  • n: 36 months

The estimated EMI is about Rs. 6,739 per month. The estimated total repayment is about Rs. 2.43 lakh, of which about Rs. 42,596 is interest, excluding applicable fees.


A longer tenure lowers your monthly EMI but raises the total interest you pay. Compare both figures before selecting the tenure.

What should you check before borrowing?

Before using a personal loan to fund your trip, you should check:


  1. Total trip cost: Estimate flights, the visa, accommodation, food, local transport and activity costs in rupees.
  2. Amount to borrow: Borrow only the amount you need after using your available savings.
  3. Interest rate: Confirm the applicable rate before accepting the loan.
  4. Processing fee: Review applicable processing charges and taxes.
  5. EMI: Check that the monthly repayment fits your budget.
  6. Total repayment: Compare the total amount payable with the amount borrowed.
  7. Existing EMIs: Include your current loan commitments in your monthly budget.
  8. Tenure: Compare tenures on both EMI and total interest.
  9. Eligibility: Check whether you meet the applicable eligibility criteria.
  10. Alternative funding: Compare borrowing with savings or other funding options.

Do not base non-refundable bookings on an assumed loan approval, and do not commit to travel that depends on visa approval before it is granted. Confirm the applicable loan terms before major expenses. Terms and conditions apply.

Overview

Visa and Cost

How much does a 5-day trip to Paris cost?

A 5-day Paris trip from India costs roughly Rs. 1,00,000 to Rs. 2,00,000 per person, a little less than a 7-day trip, as the flight and visa are fixed while the stay, food and activity costs are lower over fewer days. Budget travellers can come in lower. The season and the hotel decide where you land. Check your eligibility for personal loan using just mobile number and OTP – 100% online process.

It sits at the higher end for Indian travellers, mainly because of flights, the Schengen visa and European hotel and food prices. Budget travellers can keep a week near Rs. 1,20,000 with hostels and bakeries, while hotels and restaurants push it towards Rs. 2,50,000 or more. Careful timing and booking keep the trip within the mid-range total.

About Rs. 1,20,000 to Rs. 2,50,000 per person for a 7-day trip including flights, with the Schengen visa (Rs. 9,000 to Rs. 15,000) on top. Roughly: flights Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 80,000, accommodation Rs. 4,000 to Rs. 20,000-plus a night, food and local travel Rs. 3,000 to Rs. 8,000 a day, sightseeing on top. A budget week sits near the lower end; central hotels and restaurants push it higher. Check your eligibility for personal loan using just mobile number and OTP – 100% online process.

Fly to Charles de Gaulle airport. Direct flights run from Delhi and Mumbai on Air France and Air India, taking about 8 to 9 hours, with connecting routes (via the Gulf or Europe) from other cities and often cheaper. On arrival, the RER train, buses and taxis connect the airport to the city centre. You need a Schengen visa, so apply 4 to 6 weeks ahead, and book flights early for the best fares (round trip about Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 80,000). Check your eligibility for personal loan using just mobile number and OTP – 100% online process.

Yes, by a wide margin. European hotel, food and transport prices, the long-haul flight and the Schengen visa all cost more than a trip within India. A week in Paris runs about Rs. 1,20,000 to Rs. 2,50,000 per person, while a comparable domestic trip costs a fraction of that. Budget choices (hostels, bakeries, the metro, free sights) narrow the gap but do not close it.

Tight but workable on a budget. 500 euros is about Rs. 47,000, and it excludes your flight and visa. It covers a hostel or budget hotel at roughly 60 to 90 euros a night, food from bakeries and bistros, a metro pass, and entry to one or two paid sights. Mid-range hotels and sit-down meals would need closer to 800 to 1,000 euros for 3 days.

April to June or September to October, spring and autumn, with mild weather, thinner crowds and lower flight and hotel prices. Summer (July to August) is the busiest and priciest; winter is cold and quiet outside the festive season. Flying in the shoulder months is also the cheapest for airfare.

Yes, Indian travellers need a Schengen short-stay visa to visit Paris, as France is in the Schengen area. The all-in cost is about Rs. 9,000 to Rs. 15,000, including the embassy fee, VFS charge and mandatory insurance. Apply about 4 to 6 weeks before travel with your documents, as processing takes time. Confirm the current rules before you apply.
