Good to know before you go to France
France has strong, reliable signal in Paris and the other major cities, and the TGV corridors stay connected well, which suits a Paris-Lyon-Marseille rail itinerary. The Provence and Côte d'Azur coast (Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez) is well covered too. Coverage thins in rural stretches of the Alps and deep countryside, so a road trip through the Loire Valley or an Alpine hike is where you would want offline maps as backup. A typical city-focused trip runs fine on 3-4GB a week.
