Best Time to Visit France:
The best France weather and time to visit Paris runs from June to August, since the weather is nearly perfect with highs in the 70s and abundant sunshine. It is also the most crowded, so another option is September-October for great seasonal foliage and slightly less crowded conditions.
Our Visit
We have visited Paris on many occasions. On each visit we make sure to include a visit to the Musée d’Orsay, Bev’s favorite, to take in some Impressionist Art. Our favorite memories are attending ballets in the Opera House, praying in the Notre Dame Cathedral, taking a creepy tour of the Catacombs, and learning to make French desserts in a cooking class. Oh, and this beautiful bicycle ride with our daughter on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles.
