Climate/Clothing

The Île de France lies in a temperate climate zone.

In general, Paris sees warm and sunny summers. Winter is the rainy season, although you will find few extreme conditions, such as heavy snow showers or biting frosts.

The best seasons are spring and autumn. Prepare for a rain shower at all times. A warm jacket or coat is advisable. The Advent is also an excellent time for a visit: the city is brilliantly illuminated, and cultural activities abound.

Mid-summer is not always a good time. As many Parisians leave the city in July and August to go on holiday in the country, Paris may seem unusually deserted.

Paris is a fashion centre par excellence. Many inhabitants dress elegantly or at least originally. If you choose to wear casual clothing, you might find yourself ill at ease, especially at night when people go out wearing classy and conspicuous clothes.
