Visiting Paris in July offers an engaging experience, albeit crowded. While the summer tourist season is in full swing, and the city’s cultural institutions and key attractions draw large crowds, many locals escape to the French Riviera or the Spanish coast. This migration creates a leisurely pace in the city, coupled with an uplifting ambiance. If your goal is to witness Paris in its most picturesque form, a July visit is recommended. However, for those who might feel confined in crowded spaces, seek a more authentic local experience, or wish to avoid inflated prices for flights and accommodations, it is advisable to plan a trip during the fall or winter months.
