When visiting Paris depends on

Weather in Paris for best time to visit
- Fall and Winter
Paris has cold and slightly damp winters, with temperatures between 7 degrees Celsius (45 degrees Fahrenheit) and lows of approximately 0 degrees Celsius (35 degrees Fahrenheit). Snow isn’t frequent but can happen after December up to March. November can be cold but beautiful during Fall, while December is magic but dark as the days get shorter. Christmastime in Paris is a lively time in the capital. The most beautiful city has its famous monuments illuminated for the season, as well as department stores, institutions, boutiques… Activities and events take over the city, offering magical memories for everyone. You can ask us to set a Custom Made Paris Tour Package , all inclusive, according to your aspirations and budget, with the “Private Car Service” in option if you feel so.
- Spring and Summer
March and April are sort of chilly, but temperatures can break into the 13 degrees Celsius (55 degrees Fahrenheit). In May, temperatures slowly but surely climbing into the 20 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit). Summers are typically pleasantly warm, with temperatures rarely exceeding 28 degrees Celsius (85 degrees Fahrenheit). June is the perfect month for temperature. During August, Parisians are on vacation so “only travelers” are walking across the streets of Paris. You may find some boutiques and restaurants closed. However, all museums, landmarks and big institutions will stay opened. During this month, Paris is peaceful and very sunny. Lots of Summer activities around the Seine River are available.

Rain and Coldness
Paris does not have much rain across the seasons in comparison to other places in France. The rainiest places of France are the Pyrénées, the French Alps, Britany and Normandy. The rainiest places in the world are Mawsynram in India, Hong Kong, Portland in USA, Rotterdam in Netherlands, Edinburgh in Scotland and Cologne in Germany.
The city of lights, even in the rain or coldness, has fabulous things to do in Paris. You could be enjoying one of the best hot chocolates in a legendary site, rejoice a tremendous exhibition in the biggest antique museum of the world, go to a movie in English on the Champs-Elysées (Paris has spectacular movie theaters), shopping in fabulous department stores, take cooking classes, have a wine tasting private tour or enjoy the magnificence of sacred places…
Every year, we have “Indian summer” during September up to October. During this time, flights and hotels prices are not in high seasons. All year long, Paris is full of beauty, life and lights.
