From London to Brazil via France - is transit visa needed?

From London to Brazil via France - is transit visa needed?
I have an Indian passport and I wish to travel to Brazil via Paris on Air France. I do not have a schengen visa but I do have a Brazil visa and I am on a student visa in the UK. Do I need a transit visa for Paris even though I'm staying there for less than 2 hours and I have an on-going flight?

You need a transit visa in between your trips.
2 :
You don't need a transit visa because you'll not be allowed to exit the airport unless you manage to take a different flight.
3 :
Citizens of India need an Airport Transit Visa (ATV) even if they stay within the transit area of a France airport. The visa requirement however applies only when nationals are not in possession of a valid visa or residence permit for a Member State of the EU or a State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area of 2 May 1992, Canada, Switzerland or the United States. So if your UK student visa is still valid you may transit the France Airport without ATV. You must however stay in the transit area.

It depends on the area that he will visit, there are areas that it is necessary to take the vaccine against the malaria, usually all are vaccinated co to triple viral, Measles, German measles and Mumps.
2 :
Note: "required". No, it is not "required".
3 :
I think its recommending if visiting the amazon
4 :
If you are going to the Jungle and you get stopped at a checkpoint, they will ask to see your international vaccination record which is the yellow pamphlet that you keep in your passport. If you don't have proof of a yellow fever shot, they will give you one whether or not you want it and they will use a rather large syringe to do so. The other major danger is Dengue fever in the cities but there is no vaccine for that. As long as you don't sleep with the windows open, you should be relatively safe from Dengue fever.
5 :
Yellow Fever is recommended, but not required in cities like Rio and Sao Paolo. WHO also recommends yellow fever immunisation for travel outside the urban areas of Brazil where yellow fever risk exists. If you are going into the Amazon areas you should be vaccinated for yellow fever and ensure you take your vaccination card with you or the authorities will give you another one! There are no exceptions unless by a doctor's letter (e.g. if vaccine would harm you). It is also recommended to take malaria tablets when you are in the jungle areas.
6 :
Not required but recomended. You can take Yellow fever/ Malaria vaccine at any airport when you land at the POSTO DE SAUDE and it's free! In the US it costs about $180.00. There are several postos de saude in Brazil, you go to any posto de saude of whaterver town you're at ant take it there for free.

I have met a lot of Brazilian people. Most of them are really chill, kind of like Hawaiians. And yes its a big beach culture. Music is really big in Brazil. You can find out about Brazilian music anywhere on the internet. Anyway, I don't think you have anything to worry about, brazilians are cool. Throw them a joint, a soccer ball and a surf board and they are happy.
