Traveling with your dog can be an exciting and challenging experience. One of the challenges many dog parents face when abroad is finding dog-friendly establishments and parks to ensure their canine friends don’t spend the whole trip cooped up. Not speaking the language can make it even harder to find out if your dog is welcome in a certain place.
To help you prepare for your trip to France with your pup, we’ve rounded up 10 of the best parks with off-leash areas where your dog can safely exercise.
Before we get started, please note that the law in France restricts some breeds from entering the country; others are permitted but must be muzzled. Please check agriculture.gouv.fr website1 (official page in French) and petraveller.com2 (English) for more information.

Conclusion
So, if you’re planning to visit France anytime soon, we hope you’ve found this guide useful. One thing we’d recommend is making sure to bring your own poop bags because though many dog-friendly parks generously provide dispensers, there’s no guarantee they won’t run out! Also, remember to double-check and always respect the park’s rules on where dogs can be off-leash to ensure you don’t run into trouble. Bon voyage!
