You have several options for your Internet connection in your holiday home in France. Making the right choice will depend on your needs. Some questions to think about include:

• How often do you need Internet access? Every day? Once a week?
• Why do you want Internet access? For sending emails? For streaming videos?
• For how long do you stay in France every year? Just a few days? For several months?
  • Our Recommendations
  • If you need Internet minimally/occasionally: share your internet data if a data allowance is included for France in your mobile plan, purchase data from your foreign mobile provider, use free wifi hotspots.
  • If you need the Internet at least once a day: consider a mobile data device ("Mifi device") 
  • If you are staying in France long term (2+ months): go for a contract-free Internet plan
  • If you live in an area without fibre or ADSL: consider a satellite Internet plan

Signing up for a contract-free Internet plan for your second home in France

If you are staying in France for a relatively long period of time and spend several months a year at your second home, you can sign up for an Internet plan with a French provider. Many providers offer Internet plans that are sans engagement - contract-free - allowing you to cancel your service at any time. Here are the offers currently available:

What are temporary Wifi options in France?

Free Wifi Hotspots

There are free wifi hotspots in France. Here is a list of the best-equipped towns

If your Internet needs are minimal and your holiday home is in or near a town, you may also be able to get by with public wifi. Restaurants, hotels, cafes, museums, and tourism offices are often good spots to find free Wifi access.

Some providers offer special pay as you go Internet plans for your smartphone, which may be an option if you have a French prepaid phone. Keep in mind that these Wifi hotspots are open to all of your provider's customers (and therefore less secure than a personal connection), and Internet speed may be slow.

Sharing a mobile connection by hotspot for your second home in France

If you have a mobile plan, you can also share your Internet data with another device (tablet, computer, etc). However, be careful about your data consumption. The authorised amount is indicated in your contract. If you use a foreign plan, the amount is generally lower than in the country where you have subscribed.

How to get Internet by Satellite for a countryside house in France?

If your holiday home in France is in a remote location where broadband is limited and you require a high-speed connection, it may be worthwhile to look into Internet by satellite, offered by Nordnet for instance. Nordnet is a subsidiary of Orange, which sells a satellite offer as well. There is another major player in this market: Starlink, a SpaceX subsidiary, offering high-speed Internet access for €40/month, with no contract.

Satellite services are used in the countryside, in the mountains or in areas where there is no access to fibre or ADSL. Some satellite providers offer satellite plans without a contract, which allows you to avoid paying for Internet access when you don't use it. 

However, be prepared for a fairly considerable up-front investment for the appropriate equipment: a satellite kit - which includes at a minimum a satellite plate, a receiver, a modem, and a means of attachment to a wall - can cost anywhere from €100 to €400. Subsidies from the French government are available subject to certain conditions. Find out more about satellite Internet in France in our guide.
