Going to France late June for 2 weeks. What is the best way to get on the internet (assuming I won't be near WiFi hotspots)

Can I buy one of those pre-loaded internet dongles in the UK and still use it in France?

    Not unless they're specifically sold for use abroad (of which I've never come accross one).

    only option I could see is if you can get pickup a data sim in France somehow, unlesss you fancy one of those £4,000 phone bills for downloading a video clip.

    Or hunt down an internet cafe or wifi in a local hotel/cafe/branch of McDonalds etc etc

    Using a UK sim will be liable for international roaming charges which are very high for data.

    Your best bet is to get an unlocked dongle here and buy a sim in France.
