EXPLORE 100+ DESTINATIONS

The Air France seasonal flights between Cape Town and Paris are running from 8 October 2024 to 29 March 2025, which means you can get a chance to spend Christmas in Europe.

Paris has iconic sights, like the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Versailles Palace and Gardens and more. And there are so many bucket list French cities, like Nice (with its pebbly shores, bright blue waters and ancient ruins) and Bordeaux (the hub of France’s famed wine-growing region).

You’ll also have access to over 100 Air France destinations connecting from Paris, like Amsterdam, Lisbon, London, Athens, Vienna, Prague, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, Cairo, Marrakesh, and more.

ICONIC FRENCH-DESIGNED INTERIORS

When you travel Air France, you travel in style, because some of the brightest talents have designed Air France’s aircraft and lounges.

Notable names include Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé (iconic French designers and architects) and more recently Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance (winner of Best Design award by Time Out).

The aircrafts exude French charm and excellence the moment you step on the plane; it’s one of the reasons why the airline has remained legendary.

EAT MEALS FROM MICHELIN-STAR CHEFS

This goes for the cuisine, too. France is one of the gastronomic hubs of the world, and the art of French cuisine is epitomised onboard Air France.

The menus, created by Michelin-star chefs, alternate depending on the flight. You can expect to eat meals from renowned names like Anne-Sophie Pic (she holds a whopping 10 Michelin stars), Michel Roth (winner of the Bocuse d'Or, the world’s most esteemed gastronomy award), and more.

The wine and Champagne list is from a diverse array of the best French vineyards and is curated by expert sommeliers.
