Air France and Extime Travel Unveil Paris Stopover

With France’s peak tourist season now in full swing, Air France and Extime Travel, Groupe ADP’s airport retail and hospitality brand dedicated to tourism experiences, are unveiling their new “Paris Stopover”* offer. This new service designed and operated by Extime Travel invites travellers to take advantage of their connection time to enjoy a unique opportunity to explore Paris and its surrounding region. With 50% of Air France customers arriving at Paris-Charles de Gaulle connecting to another destination, this service will provide visitors, particularly international travellers, with an all-in-one package experience.

Starting today, Air France customers can choose, when booking their flight, to extend their stopover in Paris (on either the outbound or return journey) and book a package from Extime travel to explore the capital and the treasures of the surrounding region.

Following their booking, Paris Stopover allows eligible Air France customers to choose from a range of packages designed by Extime Travel. From transfers, accommodation to curated activities, Paris Stopover can be tailored to suit individual preferences and the length of the stopover, from one to four nights. The aim is to provide a seamless experience thanks to comprehensive support from Extime Travel throughout the experience.

Paris Stopover responds to strong customer demand –according to a study published by the Pégase Chair in April 2026, 81% of customers with a connection in Paris stated they were somewhat or very interested in the possibility of using their time between flights to leave the airport and explore Paris or other attractions near Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport*. This figure rises to 92.3% among Brazilian customers and 90% among Indian customers, who are no longer required to have a French airport transit visa requirement since April 2026.
