do I need a French Visa?

Question

I'm a Filipino with a US and UK visa; I've read in the EA agreement that if you have a US visa you can travel around some Schengen states.  I'm going to France for a 5 day tour, do I need another VISA for France?

Citizen of certain countries who even need a visa if they transit through a French airport and stay in the international transit zone are exempt from this requirement if they hold a U.S. visa. That is the only exemption a U.S. visa grants. You cannot travel to any Schengen country without having obtained a visa for that country. The visa must be applied for from the Philippines prior to travel, you can apply for it up to three months in advance.
