France Tour Packages
Like the famous line goes, "Paris is always a good idea", it doesn't matter much when you are there, as long as you are there. However, if weather is something on your mind, Spring or Fall are typically the best times to go. The weather is pretty temperate all year long but with less crowds, it means less stress on the country. Servers are nicer, public transportation is easier, lines are not as long, and locals are not as high-strung.
- Summer is the most popular time to visit
- During the Spring and Fall, the crowds start to thin out
- It's easier to find cheaper airfare during Winter but this is when the weather is its wettest
- Summer – June to August – High Season
During the summer, the average high is 77F and the average low is 60F. This is when France – especially Paris – is the most crowded. Local Parisians will even leave the city for long periods for their own vacations during this time and leave it all for the tourists
- Spring – March to May & Fall – September to November – Good Season
During Spring & Fall time, temperatures are similar with the average high of 54F and the average low of 42F. France is most enjoyable during the Spring and Fall as the crowds thin out and local Parisians are not as stressed or high-strung. Make sure to pack layers!
- Winter – December to February – Low Season
During the winter, the average high is 76F and the average low is 38F. This is cold, rainy season and if you're looking for the least amount of tourists as possible, this is the time to visit France. However, winter tour dates are starting to gain some traction so traveling to France may be considered an inside secret for now.

Reviews for France Tours and Vacations
This was a great trip, especially during the holidays! We got to see many beautiful places and I never felt rushed. It was the perfect way to get a bite sized experience of a few new locations. The hotels were high quality, the tour guide was wonderful, and the optional excursions were a great addition to the trip.
Sarah M
Our tour guide was great, though sometimes due to the winter hours, many places were closed so she worked hard to find alternate places for us to stop and visit. She did a great job.
Deborah G
