Yes! France is known as one of the most dog-loving countries in the world. Dogs are widely accepted on restaurant terraces, inside many shops, on suburban trains, and in public parks. With proper etiquette, traveling throughout France with a dog is easy and rewarding.
Yes. On SNCF (TGV, Intercités, and TER), dogs are allowed. Small pets in a carrier travel for a fixed €7 ticket. Larger dogs on a leash must wear a muzzle and also require a €7 ticket across all TGV InOui and Intercités services (Ouigo charges €10).
In city streets, dogs must be kept on a leash by law. However, dogs are legally permitted to run completely off-leash inside designated fenced dog parks ('caniparcs') and specific designated beaches and forests.
Under the French law of July 9, 1970 (Article 10), any clause in a residential lease prohibiting a tenant from keeping a domestic companion animal is legally null and void. The only exception applies to Category 1 dangerous attack dogs.
