Chinese passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter France. Apply at the French embassy or a TLScontact visa centre in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenyang, Wuhan, Changsha, or Kunming. The short-stay visa costs EUR 80 and permits stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Processing takes 10 to 15 calendar days.
Required documents: completed application form, two biometric photos, travel insurance with EUR 30,000 minimum coverage, round-trip reservation, proof of accommodation, and 3 months of bank statements. Employed applicants need an employer letter with salary and leave approval. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months past your Schengen exit date with 2 blank pages.
France processes the highest volume of Schengen visa applications from China. If you travel frequently, you may receive a multi-year multiple-entry visa on subsequent applications.
Airport Express train runs from Dongzhimen or Sanyuanqiao (Line 10) to the airport in 16–20 minutes (¥25). Trains run every 10 minutes from 6am to 11pm and connect directly to Terminals 2 and 3.

Express buses (¥25–30) serve major city hubs. Note that PKX (Daxing) is Beijing's second international airport; confirm your terminal before traveling.

Le Bus Direct coaches run to Montparnasse, Opéra, and the Eiffel Tower (€17, 45–70 min). Connecting to Gare de Lyon or Massy for TGV services is possible via RER B (Denfert-Rochereau transfer).
Temperate oceanic climate. Summers are warm (20–27°C) and mostly dry with occasional thunderstorm delays. Winters are cold and overcast (2–8°C) with frequent rain and periodic frost. Snow is rare but CDG briefly closes when it falls on an unprepared system. Fog is the primary winter flight disruption, particularly November through January.
