Hi, Alan!
Is this sentence correct "On how many occasions have you been to France so far" ???

[Alan]

Hi,

Yes, it would just about be acceptable with on but it does sound very formal. If you asked: On how many occasions did you visit the flat? that sounds to me like a police officer interviewing a suspect.
