travel languages

French is the official language of France though there are many other languages that are spoken across the country. However, there is only one official language recognized by the state: French.

French is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. An estimated 300 million people have French as their mother tongue or as a second language. It is also an official language in other countries such as Congo, Canada, Madagascar, Belgium, Senegal, Seychelles Switzerland, Haiti, Luxembourg and Monaco.

If a visa is required, obtain it from the appropriate foreign consular representative before proceeding abroad. Allow sufficient time for processing your visa application especially if you are applying by mail. Most foreign consular representatives are located in principal cities and in many instances a traveler may be required to obtain visas from the consular office in the area of his/her residence.
