August is Best
- August is the best time of the year to visit. Love the outdoors, cafe, food halls and shopping. Trains and buses runs fine, going out is also great for shopping, eating out and everything else that comes along.

Any time is great!
- Paris is one of those cities that is great to visit at any time. We have been there for all four seasons and do not have a favorite or least favorite. The thing to remember is to dress properly AND to take clothes for unseasonable weather. We were in Paris in November and the temperatures hit the '70s. Fortunately, we take our own advice and each had a summer outfit.

October is very crowded!
- I also thought October would be a quiet time. The city is swarmed with tourists! Place de Concorde was wall to wall with people.

Season...
- Spring and fall have been my best visiting times. Summer, twice of necessity but too many Americans for my taste. First visit in early April was rainy, destroyed a pair of shoes, and yet I was completely enchanted and have returned most years the last thirty.

Disneyland paris
- The best time to visit Disneyland Paris is January. It will be cold, but if you wrap up well it shouldn't be a problem. And queue times are virtually non existant. I know kids complain about the cold, but they complain about 2 hour waits a lot more. This will be our 8th time going, and only once have we not gone in January - we went on February midterm, and would never do it again! The queues were unbelievable! Honestly, your best bet is January. We've brought 8 month old babies, and three year old toddlers, as well as a whole host of adults. Once your clothes are warm enough, it's a perfect time to go. And of course, there's the January sales!

FALL in love with Paris
- Fall is absolutely beautiful in Paris. The air is crisp and clean and perfect for a walk in the park. Tourist levels also decline so it's not so crowded for the attractions.

October baby
- I was born in the fall so for "moi", the best vacations are in the fall. I have a twin sister who lives in San Francisco, so when I visit the weather is always a mixed bag and the cooler temps are perfect for me

Fluffy
- I don't know. I haven't visited yet but plan to go twice this year.

Try May, not another day
- Middle to end of May is best. There's good weather, the flowers are out, and it's not overrun with tourist. The lines are short and the locals are in a good mood.

Best Time to be in Paris
- From my experience, the best time to be in Paris is during the Holidays. Christmas through New Years'. With everthing all lit up, it just adds to this great place.
