What time before the expiry of a visa could I enter France? [duplicate]

Can I enter to France to visit Paris when just two days remains from my tourist visa?

I want to know the immigration officer or the border police will stop me at the airport.

Is there any risk of deportation?

If I have a luggage with 30kg weight will it be a problem?

Won't they ask why I bring this much weight for these few days?

If I have return tickets and hotel reservation can I persuading them that I will just visit Paris for two nights during Christmas and not over stay?

You collect the luggage after clearing immigration, so this shouldn't be a problem. However, if taken aside for secondary inspection, they may look at your luggage, and then they are very likely to ask about the amount of luggage. I suppose you have an explanation for it.

Well, the return ticket and hotel reservation are a good start, but it will be up to the officer whether you get in.

Be ready to explain why you haven't used your visa up until now.
