Paris in the Fall

Paris in the Fall. Paris is always a good idea no matter what the season, but many of us have a favourite time, or season of the year, that speaks to us and pulls at our heart strings. What is it that draws us to Paris at a particular season?

Winter with cold days is perfect for sipping a warm drink in a café, or bundling up in cosy clothes and enjoying some of the famous sights with less tourists. Winter also has a certain calm charm about it, and I love that you can see the architecture of the buildings more clearly with the trees bare and exposed.

Spring overflows with new life, budding blossoms and soft colours. It heralds hope and brings with it more sunshine and outdoor eating. Want ideas of what to see and do during spring in Paris? Then you'll love our post Paris in the Springtime - What to See and Do.

Summer with its long hazy days and abundant events and activities to choose from entices visitors from near and far who want to make the most of their days in sunny Paris. It's a happy season with ice cream, iced coffee and late night dining.

But Fall, with its rich colour and temperate weather is one of my two favourites, Fall and Spring. The sting of heat has abated, nature puts on a fabulous show and all seems calm as the trees shed their leaves. Scrunching leaves underfoot brings out the kid in me too.
