What are the formalities before your flight from Paris Cotonou?
Before buying your plane tickets, it is important to take note of a certain amount of practical information so that your stay can take place in the best conditions.
Regarding your trip, plan to arrive at Paris-Orly airport a little early to check your luggage and pass the controls. Then embark on a non-stop direct flight that will take you to Cardinal Bernardin Gantin Airport. The flight time is estimated at about 5 hours 45 minutes. The time difference with Cotonou is only 1 hour all year round.
Regarding the administrative formalities, it is essential to bring a valid passport. The currency used in Benin is the franc of the African Financial Community (CFA): remember to make the necessary exchange of your euros. Finally, note that the cost of living is cheaper in Benin than in France.
When it comes to your luggage and what to do with things, it all depends on the period you'll be traveling. However, bring practical and seasonal clothing.
