Starting this Monday, travellers with Indian passports will no longer require an Airport Transit Visa while transiting through the international zone of any airport in France.
"I'm pleased to announce that, with effect from July 23, 2018, holders of Indian passports will no longer require an Airport Transit Visa (ATV) while transiting through the international zone of any airport in France," tweeted Alexandre Ziegler, Ambassador of France to India.
An airport transit visa is applicable for the people who are just transiting the Schengen territory and who will not leave the transit area of the airport. However, hotel accommodations are only available outside the transit area and you would need a regular tourist visa if you want to stay in the hotel overnight.
