Flying
Unless time is
tight and money is no object, you will probably
not want to move around within France by air (a possible
exception being to fly to Corsica), though if you'e come from North
America, Australia or New Zealand you may be able to get a good deal
on add-on flights.
Air France
operates the most routes within the country, although smaller
outfits like Air Liberté and Air Littoral are also options. You may
also be able to pick up an internal flight on some of the foreign
airlines (such as Lufthansa) whose routes include intermediate stops
within the country.

Ferries
The
majority of France's coastal islands, which are concentrated around
Brittany and the Côte d'Azur, can only be reached by ferry .
Small local companies run routes whose timetables ary according to
season, some routes ceasing to operate in winter months, while in high
season booking ahead is recommended on all but the most frequent runs.
SNCM and Corsica Ferries offer serices to Corsica . For all ferries,
prices and schedules ary by season, so it's best to contact the carriver
before planning your trip.
