Inflation in France
Consumer prices in France have risen 1,527.2% since January 1955, the start of the official series. That means €100 then buys what €1,627.19 buys in December 2025, so the same basket of goods now costs 16.3 times what it did. Over the most recent year on record, December 2024 to December 2025, prices rose 0.8%.

How inflation in France is measured
The figures above come from the OECD's national CPI dataset, compiled by France's national statistics office. The series is indexed so that a chosen base year equals 100, and the calculator works out the ratio between any two dates you pick.
Coverage runs from January 1955 to December 2025, and updates automatically as each new release is published. Figures for the most recent periods can be revised by the statistics office after first publication.
