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

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.
