Best time to visit Paris

Springtime in Paris (le printemps)
From March to May, temperatures usually range between 10°C and 18°C (50°F to 64°F). Trees and parks come into bloom, café terraces reopen fully, and daylight hours grow longer, making this a shoulder season that feels fresh and inviting.

Summer in the city (l’été)
June to August brings warmer days, with average temperatures around 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Outdoor festivals, riverside activities, and evening strolls along the Seine are popular, and the city has a lively atmosphere in this peak season.

Autumn and winter charm (l’automne et l’hiver)
From September to February, expect temperatures between 3°C and 15°C (37°F to 59°F). Autumn colours in the parks and atmospheric winter streets create a quieter, more reflective side of Paris, making this low season ideal if you prefer calmer museums and cosy indoor spaces.
