A) I have a passport.

B) I'm staying two weeks.

I've searched throughout the internet, sites such as the French embassy's, and though I think I know the answer I'm not enitirely positive. It can be difficult to translate legal lingo! :) I'd just like a definite "yes" or "no".

I'd prefer an answer from somebody who understands the legal talk or somebody who has travelled to France since 9/11, or anybody really who thinks they're qualified to answer.

THANKS! MERCI!

    An American citizen does not need a visa to enter and remain in France for a period not to exceed 90 days.

  4. I have visited France twice in 2006/7.  The first time I stayed four weeks.  You do not need a visa unless you are staying longer than 90 days.  I hope this helps.  Steve

  5. You don't need a VIsa to stay in France.  You are allowed to stay a maximum of three months/90 days.
