As it suggests go to one of the big electronics store ( electromanager) stores or Orange or Free shops unless of course your French is up to the mark.

I seem to remember the électroménagers were the best for the deals I just use the Free €2 contract it gives me all the calls and texts I need limited data but if as I rarely do need above my allowance I can buy additional use the Orange portal because the apartment is on Orange telephone internet TV etc. It's good because it gives a host of free destinations including the UK at the moment as part of the contract and for €2 is unbeatable.

France was alway behind on roaming data, in my time.

Are you sure you cannot use your wind.it data allowance in France?

French data SIM costs were extortionate when I sailed there some years ago, and a quick google suggests they still are.

I used Syma a year ago and they weren't much good.

As I recall they were slow and I was unable to tether my laptop through my phone using their SIM.
