Morning everyone. All the experts please help. I have a 6 months uk visa and plan to spend 3 days in Paris when in london for a 2 weeks holiday. I read the requirements for schengen visa on the France-ng.com. My question is, can I book an easyjet weekend break or Eurostar city break for the 3 days and use as my prepaid transport and prepaid hotel in place of confirmed airline reservation and hotel booking? Thank you all.

The UK visa does not entitle you to enter France, and you can't apply for the Schengen visa from the UK if you don't have its Residence Permit; you need make the application in nigeria:

yes you can
but you would need to apply in nigeria for the visa, and include reservation for your trip to london with your schengen application.
give an itinerary of ur trip as well in your application

Its better to pick eurostar/easy jet and hotel accomodation that gives you free cancellation policy - you would be surprised how plans could change

Salsera and Vicjustice thanks for replying. Vicjustice, I intend to apply from Lagos Nigeria. I also will attach my Lagos-London return ticket as well. Salsera, I just wasn't certain that the French will be cool wit the prepaid holiday since their requirements say: Confirmed flight reservation and hotel booking. For the avoidance of doubt, I have all the other requirements and I work for a well paying govt agency. All annual leave, officail and financial documentations are intact and very ok. Thank you.

Guys i need a little help an advice on hw 2process france shenge visa.wat r the requirement

You will be fine - as long as you have reservation of your trip and hotel booking. My advice for not picking pre-paid booking is not for the sake of the embassy but its for you cos your plans may change. Most hotels have options for reservations with free cancellation policy so pick those options, choose such options for eurostar too.

I did the same and got my schengen but unfortunately i prepaid eurostar and then my planned date changed and lost the initial ticket money.
