Chinese passport, US permanent resident, UK student visa traveling to France?
I own a chinese passport with a US permanent resident card. I am studying in Great Britain on a student visa. Do I require a visa if I want to visit France for about 4 days?

probably not, because a visa for any country in the EU covers all the countries, likewise for citizenship. However, just to be certain, i would contact the embassy/check online for resources.

Yes, you will require a visitor's visa (Schengen type C) for France. China is not on the list of countries which are Schengen-Visa waived. The US permanent resident card does not waive the visa requirement either. The United Kingdom is not a member of the Schengen Agreement for travel, their issued visa are not recognized in the Schengen area.
