Travel in France
In 2025, retail value sales of travel in France outperformed those of 2024. The Olympic and Paralympic Games had a mixed impact due to concerns over overcrowding, which led many inbound tourists to opt for other regions within France or to travel abroad instead, but a rebound to stronger growth was seen in 2025, attributed to the trickle-down effects of the event. The start of 2025 showed promise, with increased arrivals and bookings for the summer of that year.
