France, generally visited for tourist trips, shopping, and education, operates one hour behind Turkey in terms of time. To visit, you need a Schengen visa or a green passport. Turkish citizens with a green passport can stay in the country for up to 90 days without a visa. With a Schengen visa or a green passport, you can travel not only in France but also in many other European countries in the "Schengen Zone" such as Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The opportunity to see such a variety of countries with a single visa always excites travelers.
