Yes, absolutely. We recommend getting your eSIM Trails plan installed and ready before you even step foot on French soil. You can scan the QR code and complete the setup from your home Wi-Fi. Your data validity period for France only kicks in when your device registers with a local network like Orange or SFR upon arrival, ensuring you're connected the moment your adventure truly begins, whether you're landing in Paris or heading straight for the Pyrenees.
