Things to Do in Cambodia for French Travelers
French winter travellers escaping the cold typically split time between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, with Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm anchoring the temples leg and the Royal Palace, Tuol Sleng and the Russian Market filling the capital. The dry season from November to March is gentle on photography light and easier on long temple days. Many French itineraries extend onto the Mekong towards Kratie for Irrawaddy dolphins or south to Koh Rong for diving, all comfortably inside the 30-day Type T window.
Your Cambodia eVisa covers all regions — no internal visa or border crossing required once you're inside the country.
Cambodia Travel Tips for French Citizens
Practical advice from travellers who've been — currency, connectivity, weather, and the eVisa print rule that catches everyone out at Cambodian immigration.
Currency
US dollars are accepted almost everywhere alongside Cambodian Riel. You do not need to exchange currency before flying — small change comes back in Riel.
Best time to visit
November to April (dry season). May to October brings monsoon rains — southern coastal regions are most affected. November to February is the sweet spot for Angkor Wat.
Connectivity
Buy a local SIM at Phnom Penh or Siem Reap airport ($2–3 USD). Most foreign phones work on GSM. Metfone and Smart are the recommended carriers — both have airport kiosks.
Health
No mandatory vaccinations. Hepatitis A and Typhoid are commonly recommended. Drink bottled water only — even in major hotels. Carry mosquito repellent for evening visits to temples.
Print your eVisa
Print 2 copies of your approved eVisa on A4 paper. Cambodian immigration does NOT accept mobile screenshots. We email PDF-ready files with print instructions.
