Written by Trinity Duong
Paris in the fall is a perfect time as the summer crowd disperses and the leaves begin to turn the perfect shade of red and golden yellow. The parks have never been more beautiful to stroll through with plenty of room to breathe in the cool fresh air. Paris is even more charming in the fall season. If you are looking for what to do, see, or wear, here are the best tips to get the best Paris experience in the fall.
Fall in Paris begins in September and goes all the way until the end of November.
Useful items to keep on you in the fall to ensure your comfort in the colder weather are listed below.
1) Closed shoes or sneakers
Because you will be tasked with exploring the beautiful big city you will be walking a lot. Wear your comfiest shoes that also ensure a bit of warmth.
2) Umbrella
In these coming months, we often see a rainier side of Paris. Staying dry and warm is your best choice when exploring the beautiful parks.
3) Scarf and a light jacket
Whether it is a windbreaker or a parka, a light option will keep you warm and rid of the sweat that your heavy winter jacket often brings.
