Is Uber or Lyft in France?

Lyft doesn't operate in Paris, but Uber does. I've taken several Ubers in Paris. Just note that most drivers may not speak English--the Google Translate app came in handy. I prefer Uber because you know they'll accept cards and you know the price up front.

Yes. Uber is definitely a safe option in France. I've always loved the fact that the Uber App tracks everything for you, including license plate numbers. Plus, if you don't speak French, there isn't that worry about language barriers, as everything is booked in the App.

Tipping in France is not mandatory. Even though it is always appreciated, it's up to the customers to decide if they want to tip or not. Unlike other countries, the price of the service is included in the total cost of the bill. You will never be asked to tip, but it's common to leave one if the service was good.
