Best time of year to visit Paris

If your main intention is excellent weather with a variety of different activities, choose June to August as the best time to visit Paris. Summer is perfect to walk along La Coulée Verte and relax on the beaches on the Seine banks. However, the city usually gets overcrowded with inflated hotel prices in summer. So here you go, autumn—affordable rates, Paris Fashion Week (crowded again), beautiful foliage, and shorter queues at the main city attractions. If your trip drops between November and February, pack warm rainwear with you as the city is the rainiest during this period. Known for the same rain and mist, spring in Paris can be also dynamic and beautiful as it welcomes Marathon de Paris and offers a promenade among blooming abandoned railway.
