Paris is beautiful year-round, but the best time depends on your preferences:

• Spring (April - June): BEST time! Pleasant weather (15-22°C), blooming gardens, outdoor cafés, fewer crowds than summer.
• Fall (September - November): EXCELLENT! Comfortable weather, beautiful autumn colors, fashion week, wine harvest season.
• Summer (July - August): Warm (22-28°C), long days (sunset at 10pm!), crowded, some locals on vacation.
• Winter (December - March): Cold (3-8°C) but magical! Christmas markets, sales in January, fewer tourists, romantic atmosphere.

Our recommendation: April-May or September-October for first-timers. December for Christmas magic!
