How this price is worked out
This is the Eparvia app's own calculation, for two adults, 7 days and 6 nights from Manchester, by plane or train. Accommodation and food follow the official French government travel allowance scale, converted at European Central Bank rates of 18 September 2026 and scaled down to a leisure trip. Travel is estimated from distance and mode; sightseeing and local transport are Eparvia estimates. A safety margin is added to the total. The official scale on Légifrance (in French)
