Schengen visa requirement to France, Italy and Spain?

Question

I am applying for a Schengen visa via the french consulate. I am travelling to France (3 days), Italy (2 days) and Spain (2 days). Do i need to provide the embassy with the hotel confirmation for Italy and Spain as well. The chosen accommodation in Italy and Spain refuse to provide me with the information especially if it for visa application. Any ideas what i should do? Thankfully i only paid a deposit.

Answer 1

You might not need a visa.  What's your nationality / passport country?

Answer 2

The French Consulate advises people to wait before finalising any travel arrangement. You will however need to indicate your address of stay in France, Italy and Spain.

Don't pay the hotel in full yet. Just put a tentative address for now when you apply. It's okay if you change address later. If the embassy decides to grant your visa, they would then ask you to present a confirmed hotel reservation.
