Gardens bloom across the city with pleasant 13-20°C temperatures. Cherry blossoms line the Seine and outdoor cafes reopen. The shoulder season means manageable crowds and moderate prices.
Long daylight hours and warm weather (20-23°C) make summer ideal for evening strolls. July and August bring peak tourist crowds, especially around the Eiffel Tower and Louvre. Paris Plages transforms the Seine riverbanks into urban beaches.
September and October offer comfortable temperatures (14-19°C) with golden foliage in Luxembourg Gardens. Crowds thin after summer, prices drop, and the cultural season kicks off with new exhibitions and theatre premieres.
Cold and occasionally wet (5-9°C), but the city sparkles with holiday lights. Lower tourist numbers mean shorter queues at major attractions. Winter sales in January offer excellent shopping.
