There were days with bright blue skies, but also many moments of rain. During the day the temperature hovered around 10 degrees. Ideal for long walks, but an umbrella is a must!
Vera VrijsenAlthough it was great to see the city in the winter light, I would have preferred to return in the spring for the warmer days. The weather was a bit unpredictable.
IsaakOctober in Paris was clearly a gamble. We had a mix of mild, pleasant days and rainy, cool days. Be sure to bring an umbrella and a good coat!
CoenIt was raining lightly and the temperature was around 5 degrees, a little chilly. Dress well because the weather is not always predictable, but that is typical of winter.
Lennart DobberThe temperature was around 27 degrees, warm but not unbearably hot. There were rain showers, but they were brief and refreshing. Overall, very satisfied.
Sara HeidstraExpect random spring days with sunny, cloudy and rainy moments. Temperatures will be in the mid-20s. Be prepared for occasional cold days.
JorisIdeal for city exploration.
BartNot ideal for sightseeing. The sun rarely shone and there was little snow, so it is not worthy of a 5-star rating in any respect.
JannekePerfect for museums and cafe visits!
Jelle ToonkThe weather was very nice, I could color in nicely and it was not too hot to do activities.
