The climate of Paris (France)
Paris is the capital of France, the largest town in the country and
also one of the most important metropolises. Besides an important
economic centre the town is also very popular as a destination for
city tours. The Eiffel tower, the quays of the river Seine, the many
characteristic small streets and the atmospheric restaurants yearly
attract many millions of visitors to the City of Light.
Renting a car in Paris gives you complete freedom in
transportation. It allows you to explore attractions anywhere around
Paris without the difficulties of public transport.
The best time
for a city tour is in the months September up to and including June.
The temperature is not so high then and and very well suitable to
saunter through Paris. In the winter the many museums offer a warm
attraction although it never gets really very cold in Paris. Also on
warm summer days it is lovely to linger in the large number of parks
that Paris is rich in. Or what do you think of a sultry summer night
on the stairs of the Sacre Coeur? Who goes to Paris in the spring or
the autumn and wants to enjoy dry weather and 18-20 degrees has to be
lucky. Then the weather is better than it is here, but the chance of
rainy days is rather big then. On wet and grey days Paris suddenly
looks far less atmospheric and romantic than on sunny dry days. Who
wants ideal pavement circumstances without it being too hot better
goes to this beautiful town in June or September. In the winter months
it is moderately some degrees warmer than in Holland. Nevertheless
also here the chance of snow or a night of frost is very real. With a
northern or eastern current also in Paris the temperatures can stay
below freezing point in the day-time.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
