When to go to Paris?
Paris is the most visited capital city in the world. Throughout the year, you can discover exceptional heritage and amazing performances. If you want to visit Paris and are wondering about the best time to go, here are some factors to consider, including the weather and other factors.
The best season to discover Paris
Overall, the climate is pleasant from spring to autumn, from May to October. Spring has a scent of renewal. The days are longer and the sun is more present. Temperatures can reach 20°C, and café terraces come alive. Outdoor events become more frequent. You can enjoy a large funfair like the Foire du Trône or a boat cruise. April, however, is very uncertain weather-wise.
The months of May, June, September, and October record the highest number of tourists in Paris. These are indeed the most pleasant in terms of temperatures. Major cultural and sporting events take place, such as the Fête de la Musique, Roland Garros, European Night of Museums, and Nuit Blanche. July, August, and even September are the hottest months of the year. The summer heat might make you hesitate, but visiting Paris in August, for example, is very pleasant. Parisians are on vacation, and the city seems deserted. Traffic is easier, and queues to visit museums are shorter, even though tourists are plentiful.
In autumn, there may be some greyness, but the autumn lights have a particular charm that isn't found in other seasons.
The period not recommended for visiting Paris
The least pleasant period to visit France, including Paris, begins in November with the onset of winter, as grayness prevails and precipitation is generally abundant. The temperature is low, averaging between 3 and 8 degrees Celsius, and it's not for the faint-hearted to wander the streets of the capital. It's best to prioritize museum visits or take advantage of winter sales. You might also enjoy strolling along the illuminated Champs-Élysées in December during Christmas or exploring the department stores.
In January and February, temperatures are very low. There are many days with completely overcast skies. Temperatures are quite chilly, averaging around 3 degrees during the day and sometimes dropping to 1 degree in the morning. It's not very inviting to explore Paris under these conditions. For shopping enthusiasts, the winter sales in Parisian boutiques are very attractive, and even the extreme cold doesn't deter them.
In March, temperatures remain cool, averaging around 9 degrees Celsius, so the climate is still not very favorable for staying in Paris. However, you can take advantage of Parisians' school holidays or long weekends to explore the city quietly, as it empties of its inhabitants during these times.
