How this price is worked out
This is the Eparvia app's calculation, for two adults, 7 days and 6 nights from London, at the “Essential” comfort level, worked out again for each of the next twelve months with the cheapest way to travel (plane, train, or coach when the trip takes 10 hours or less). Accommodation and meals follow the official French civil-service travel allowance scale, converted at ECB rates of 18 September 2026 and adjusted to a leisure trip; school holidays push travel prices up. A safety margin is added to the total. The official scale on Légifrance (in French)

These figures describe a typical trip. Eparvia works the other way round from a comparison site: you say what you set aside, where from and when you want to leave, and the app works out your budget at departure, then only suggests trips that genuinely fit inside it — Bali included, if the figures allow.
