visa C

hello! i ve got visa C issued by Finnish Consulate in Saint-Petersburg for 30 days of stay in Europe. I was about to go to France for the whole period of visa validity but Customs people said that i have to spend most of the time in Finland as i got visa from their Consulate. It means out of 30 days only 9 days i can spend in France. Is it the truth. Could you please explain me the situation.Im from Russia

It is not true.

You can stay in any Schengen country during the validity of your Schengen visa. However, when you cross the French border if you arrive by plane, you may expect some questionning on the object of your travel.
