As in many countries, Internet access is generally easy to find in France. If you don't see
one just by wandering round, the tourist information office should be able to locate an
Internet café (cybercafé in French). But many hotels offer
Internet access, including wireless access. If access will be crucial during your stay, this is
undoubtedly the easiest option and it is of course advisable to check with the hotel before booking.
