Best Time to Visit Paris

Paris is most popular in June and September, and for good reason. June offers warm temperatures (20C to 25C), long evenings, the Paris Air Show, and the city fully alive before school holidays. September is when Parisians return from August holidays; the city feels more authentic, the light is golden, and major fashion events begin. July and August are peak tourist months with the highest hotel prices and most crowded sites at the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and Notre-Dame reconstruction. August is also when many Parisian restaurants and shops close as locals leave for vacation. April and May are lovely: spring flowers in the Tuileries and Luxembourg Gardens, Easter markets, and manageable crowds. The Roland Garros French Open in late May and early June fills the 16th arrondissement hotels. December brings the Christmas markets on the Champs-Elysees and winter wonderland displays. January and February are the cheapest months, with shorter museum queues, but cold and grey at 3C to 7C.
