Paris eSIM

100 France plans · from $2.16

Paris rewards wandering, which means you will lean on maps harder than you expect — the Métro map and the street grid do not agree with each other. A travel eSIM has you connected from the RER platform at Charles de Gaulle, before you have worked out which line goes where.

Landing at Charles de Gaulle & Orly (CDG / ORY)

The RER B into the city from CDG has patchy coverage in the tunnel sections and no reliable free Wi-Fi. Having data already live makes the ticket machines and route choices far less stressful.

Which networks you'll be on in Paris

Siima eSIMs for France ride Orange and SFR. Orange has the broadest 5G coverage in Île-de-France; SFR is comparable inside the Périphérique and slightly better in parts of the western suburbs.

Coverage around Paris

Métro and RER

Nearly the entire Métro network has had mobile coverage since the 2024 rollout, including in tunnels. RER lines are covered above ground and in most of the central underground sections.

Central arrondissements

Strong 5G across the 1st through 8th. The one consistent weak spot is inside thick-walled historic buildings — expect a drop deep inside the Louvre or Musée d'Orsay.

Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars

Good coverage at ground level and on all three tower levels, though summit congestion during peak summer hours can slow uploads.

Versailles and day trips

The RER C to Versailles keeps signal the whole way, and the palace grounds are well covered including the Trianon estate.

How much data you need

Three to four days in Paris runs about 2–3 GB. A week with heavy photo uploads and some streaming is closer to 6 GB.

Frequently asked questions

Does a France eSIM work elsewhere in the EU?
A France-only plan is for France. If your trip takes in several EU countries, a Europe regional plan is usually cheaper than buying one country plan per stop — it covers France plus 30+ other European countries on the same eSIM.
Will my eSIM work on the Paris Métro?
Yes, on almost all of it. Coverage was extended across the Métro tunnel network, so you keep data between stations on the main lines. A handful of older sections still drop briefly.
How do I set up an eSIM before arriving in Paris?
Install it at home while you still have Wi-Fi: open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM and scan the QR code from your Siima confirmation email. Leave the line switched off until you land — the plan starts counting from first use in France, not from purchase.
How much data do I need for a trip to Paris?
Three to four days in Paris runs about 2–3 GB. A week with heavy photo uploads and some streaming is closer to 6 GB.
Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in Paris?
Almost always. Daily roaming passes from most home carriers run $10–15 per day, while Siima plans covering Paris start from $2.16 for the whole trip. You also avoid per-megabyte charges if you exceed a roaming pass allowance.
