BEST TIME TO GO TO PARIS

As a vibrant city, every time of year is good to spend in Paris. However, the springtime is particularly attractive when many of the city's parks – or jardins publics – are coming into bloom. In July and August, Paris can seem a bit quiet because many Parisians take their summer holidays at this time. Having said that, it makes it a great time of year to come with less bustle.
