Summer is hands-down one of the best times to be in Paris. The days stretch on forever, café terraces are buzzing, and the whole city feels like it’s on vacation. It’s the ideal season for wandering aimlessly, stumbling across hidden parks, tiny boutiques, or just sitting along the river or canals and watching the world go by.
From June through September, Paris also goes into full festival mode, with concerts, outdoor events, and celebrations popping up all over the city. This all sounds amazing, but there is a small catch – everyone else wants to be here too. Summer is peak tourist season, but this gives you the perfect excuse to skip the mega-crowded attractions and explore the more local, offbeat corners of Paris instead.
If you’re ready to make the most of the sunny season in the French capital, here are the best things to do in Paris in the summer.

The best summertime sightseeing in Paris:
You can beat some of the summer crowds and heat by enjoying these creative ways to take in the city.

Zoom around Paris by bike
Bike tours are a fun activity year-round in Paris, but especially in summer. With the long days and warm weather, you can zip around the city with a breeze in your face instead of melting on the métro. This Paris highlights bike tour is one of the best on offer.
You’ll cruise past some of Paris’s biggest icons, including the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, and Notre-Dame, plus some of the prettiest bridges along the Seine. Your guide shares fun stories and bits of history along the way, so it’s a fantastic intro to Paris, its layout, and history.

Escape the daytime crowds at the Louvre during an evening tour
The Louvre Museum can be a little overwhelming to tackle on your own. It’s gigantic, packed with people, and filled with more masterpieces than you could possibly see in one visit. But you can avoid a good deal of the mayhem by joining this Closing Time at the Louvre.
It takes place later in the day, when the summertime crowds finally start to thin out, so you can actually enjoy the museum. Your guide will whisk you straight to the big stars, like the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and the Mona Lisa. And if you can book the Friday evening option, even better: the museum stays open late and feels surprisingly peaceful for one of the most visited museums on earth (and it’s cooler at that time, too!).

Visit and have lunch at a charming house museum
If you want to avoid the crowds at the Louvre entirely, you might want to visit some of Paris’s amazing smaller museums. In my opinion, the best of these to visit in summer are the “house museums”, places where a famous French person used to live, and a few have great outdoor cafés too.
My top picks are the Maison Victor Hugo (WA*), the Maison Balzac, and the Romantic Life Museum. So after you tour the less-busy museum, you can grab lunch or a coffee within this lovely setting and feel a world away from the masses swarming the Louvre (WA) and other popular attractions.
*(WA=Wheelchair Accessible)
Cool down underground in the Paris Catacombs
If temperatures skyrocket, there’s one place that always stays cool, and that’s the Catacombs. Since the site is deep under the street, temperatures are much lower down there. The site is pretty popular, and getting a ticket is very tricky, so you might prefer to join a guided tour, like this excellent Paris Catacombs tour by Walks. It includes skip-the-line tickets, fascinating commentary on this unusual site, and your guide will also take you to secret areas you wouldn’t find on your own.

See the sites at twilight on an evening walking tour
Beat the intense Paris summer heat and skip the midday crowds milling around Paris’s top sites by joining this small-group evening walking tour (WA). As you take in the evening ambiance, you’ll discover why Paris is called the City of Light. Learn about the city’s history while seeing the Louvre, Pont Neuf, and Place Vendôme glowing against the night sky, plus visit a few hidden gems most tourists completely miss.

Bike around the Versailles Gardens
For many visitors to Paris, the Palace of Versailles is a must-see, but its massive size and epic crowds can get totally insane in summer. That’s why you’re much better off touring the famous palace and its gardens by bike in summer, and our friends at Boutique Tours have a fabulous Versailles bike and picnic tour.
You’ll start by hitting up a local market to grab some picnic treats, then cruise through the gorgeous palace gardens on two wheels, and breeze inside with skip-the-line tickets. The tour completely transforms what could be an overwhelming trek into a laid-back, memory-making day.

Get a bird’s-eye view of Paris on a hot air balloon ride
Speaking of cool views of the city, some of the best you can take in are from the Ballon Generali (WA**), the world’s largest hot air balloon. It’s found in the Parc André-Citroën, which isn’t very far from the Eiffel Tower. The 10-minute ride takes you up 450 feet (150 meters), about half the height of the tower. So this is a pretty unique way to admire it and the rest of the city, as long as you’re not afraid of heights!
**You can board with your manual wheelchair (only one wheelchair on board per flight). However, for accessibility and safety reasons, you will not be able to board with your electric wheelchair.

Tour the quirkiest museum in the city
Looking for something totally off the beaten path to do in Paris in summer? Tucked away in historic wine warehouses in eastern Paris is the Fun Fair Museum, a wonderland of vintage carnival rides, retro arcade games, and old-school magic.
Perfect for couples and families alike, this place is so cool that it has been used as a movie set. You might recognize it from Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris or season one of Emily in Paris. In summer, it’s open every day, unlike the rest of the year, so it’s the ideal time to go.

Flee the crowds by seeking out street art in Belleville
You can avoid summertime crowds hovering around the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Louvre by heading over to the artsy Belleville neighborhood. It’s a great local area that is home to many younger artists, and there’s also a lot of incredible street art to explore.
You can hunt down the best in the area by taking this street art tour of Belleville. It’s a great way to visit the area with a local and learn about the city’s street art scene.

Whiz around Paris on a vintage sidecar tour
If you want a fun way to see the sites, hop into a vintage sidecar and let your private driver-guide do the rest. During these private sidecar tours, you’ll zoom through the streets, passing all the heavy hitters, including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, and Notre Dame, while the breeze cools you down.
Fun or refreshing summertime activities in Paris
There are some great ways to lower your body temperature during the summer in Paris, including some quick fixes while you’re out exploring.

Have a refreshing swim in an open-air pool
When Paris starts sizzling, a great place to cool down is in one of the city’s open-air pools (piscine in French). There are actually three in the city, just be sure to arrive early or at lunchtime to beat the locals who already know where to cool down.
The Piscine de la Butte-aux-Cailles (WA) is a historic Art Deco pool opened in 1924, and two of its three pools are outside. In the 19th arrondissement, there’s the Piscine Georges-Vallerey (WA), originally built for the 1924 Olympic Games; the 50-meter pool has a retractable roof. Or if you’re traveling with small kids, go to Aquaboulevard de Paris (WA), a water park at the edge of southwestern Paris that has artificial beaches, water slides, and large outdoor pools.
While there’s a small entry fee, the real trick is mastering the strict French dress code for pools: loose swim trunks are a total no-go, and a swim cap is absolutely mandatory (though you can easily grab one from an on-site vending machine if you forget).
Image courtesy of Joséphine Brueder via Ville de Paris
Cool down in a water mister or splash pool
If going to an actual pool seems too complicated, there are actually a few places in Paris with water misters in some parks and plazas. The best are in the Parc Nelson Mandela (next to Les Halles), Parc Martin Luther King (on the edge of Les Batignolles), Place de la République (north of the Marais), Parc André Citroën (close to the Eiffel Tower and where the hot air balloon leaves from), and the Paris Plages (more on it below).
Plus, some water fountains also have misters, so you can also look out for those in small squares around the city, and fill up your water bottle for free while you’re at it.
Have some thrills at the fun fair in the Tuileries Gardens
In summer, part of the historic Tuileries Gardens gets all lively with a fun fair. Called The Tuileries Festival (WA), it has a whole bunch of amazing attractions, the highlight being a giant Ferris wheel, which has some absolutely incredible views of the city.
It’s a fantastic place to take a break from classic sightseeing and let the kids let loose for a bit. There’s also a vintage carousel and fun playground within the park near the festival.

Learn about French wine in an underground cellar
Eager to learn about French wines while you’re here? You can do this in a very “cool” place – Les Caves du Louvre, wine cellars commissioned by King Louis XV in the 18th century. The experience includes a self-guided audio tour of the venue’s sensory and interactive exhibits on French wine growing and production, before moving on to a tasting of three wines introduced by a sommelier, all while enjoying the chilly air in the underground cellars.

Enjoy some cool air and a movie at a Parisian movie theatre
If it gets really hot, a handy place to cool down is in a movie theater. Most have air-conditioning and generally screen a decent array of movies in English. You could take your cinema experience to the next level by going to a historic movie theater. My top picks are Le Cinéma 28 (in Montmartre), Le Louxor (WA, near Gare du Nord and not far from Montmartre), and Lost in Frenchlation, which organizes screenings of French films with English subtitles, often with an intro done by the director or a member of the cast.

Let the kids blow off some steam in the Jardin d’Acclimatation
You don’t have to go all the way out to Disneyland to let your kids have amusement park fun in Paris. Located on the western edge of the city, within the Bois du Boulogne woods, is the Jardin d’Acclimatation (WA), a historic amusement park. Founded in the mid-1800s, it has 42 rides, including a train and other vintage attractions. The park is also very shady, which helps keep it cooler, ideal for hot summer days.

Enjoy the AC as you shop the sales at a historic department store
There are two glorious times of year in Paris for bargain hunting: January and late June. So if you’re visiting in summer, you’ll stumble across sales pretty much everywhere. A lot of shops also have air-conditioning, making shopping an excellent excuse to cool off between classic sightseeing.
The historic department stores La Samaritaine (WA) and Galeries Lafayette (WA), are especially good for a stylish browse and are along the walking route of Day 1 of our Paris Itinerary.
Have a stroll or picnic in a Parisian park
In dire need of a midday escape from the Parisian summer heat? Head to one of the city’s pretty historic parks. The Luxembourg Gardens is a favorite of mine and is included on Day 2 of our Paris Itinerary. It’s packed with shady paths, picnic lawns, a killer playground, and refreshing water misters for those scorching days.
If you want to skip the massive tourist crowds at the Tuileries, do what the locals do, and relax in the rolling hills of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, or explore Parc Monceau and Parc Montsouris.
And if you need a total nature reset, venture out to the city’s two massive woods, the Bois de Vincennes on the east and the Bois de Boulogne on the west. Both offer endless shade, playgrounds, and lakes where you can rent rowboats for a classic lazy afternoon on the water.
Learn how to make gourmet ice cream
Enjoying some ice cream is definitely a good way to cool down in summer in Paris, and I’ve included some great places to try the best in the city below. But if you’d like to learn how to make your own, join one of the ice cream-focused classes at the cooking school of star chef Alain Ducasse. It covers all the techniques of making ice creams, granita, and sorbets, a great hands-on experience that you can perfect when you’re back at home.
Unique ways to enjoy Paris’s waterways:
It’s always cooler down by the water, and there are more ways and places to enjoy this in Paris than you might think.
Enjoy the evening breeze with a walk along the Seine
Paris always feels a few degrees cooler down by the water, which is why I love strolling through Parc Rives de Seine. This riverside promenade stretches along the Right Bank from near Place de la Bastille all the way to the Louvre Museum.
I suggest starting around Hôtel de Ville (which has its own metro stop) and wandering toward the Louvre, and you’ll have stunning Seine views the whole way. If your timing’s right, you might even catch the Eiffel Tower glowing in the background at sunset. Can’t get much better than that!
Head to the Paris beaches
One of the city’s biggest summer traditions is Paris Plages. This annual event kinda feels like Paris turns into a beach town, or at least down along the Seine. Every summer until the end of August, sections of the riverbanks transform into urban beaches, complete with lounge chairs, palm trees, games, misting stations, and actual sand in some spots.
You’ll find the “beaches” spread out along the Right Bank’s Parc Rives de Seine, and the Left Bank’s Les Berges. Some areas are more about relaxing with a book in a deck chair, while others are geared toward families and activities.
Take a dip in the Seine
If it’s a really hot day, you can even take a dip in the Seine. Yep, there are a few designated swimming areas (read: CLEAN) that are available in summer. Whether you feel brave enough to jump in or prefer watching other people do it while staying safely dry is entirely up to you. Either way, it’s a fun and unexpected way to experience Paris in summer.

Sip champagne while cruising the Seine
A summer boat cruise is one of the best ways to see Paris while giving your feet a well-earned break. For extra flair, book a champagne cruise with the Vedettes de Paris (WA***). This company has a fleet of smaller, eco-friendly electric boats, and it offers a special bubbly cruise in the evenings with a sommelier aboard to guide you through a champagne tasting. This definitely adds some extra sparkle to the City of Light.
***Get more information on cruising with Vedettes de Paris when you have accessibility needs.
Dance along the Seine River with the locals
If you’re into tango or salsa, or just curious to see a more local side of Paris, head to Parc Tino Rosso on a warm evening. Usually from Thursday to Sunday, the riverside fills with dancers twirling under the summer sky. You can jump in yourself or simply grab a spot nearby and enjoy the show.
Stroll along Paris’s canals
Northeastern Paris has a whole network of canals that absolutely come alive in summer. The best-known stretch is the Canal Saint-Martin, lined with trendy cafés, indie boutiques, and some of the city’s best picnic spots.
Further north, near Place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad, it becomes the Bassin de la Villette before turning into the Canal de l’Ourcq. This is where the vibe gets even more local: colorful street art, laid-back bars, and long summer evenings that somehow turn into midnight apéros. You can find all the top hangouts and boutiques along the canals on Day 4 of our Paris Itinerary.

Hop on a cruise along the Canal-St-Martin
Another fun option to check out the canals is on cruises offered by Canauxrama. Their boats float along between Bastille and the Bassin de la Villette, and actually go underground for part of it. It’s also a nice alternative to the cruises on the Seine.
Image courtesy of AKWA
Tour the canals on your very own boat
Instead of sitting back on a cruise, why not captain your own little boat instead? AKWA (WA) rents self-drive boats from the Bassin de la Villette, and honestly, it’s one of the most fun summer activities in the city. You can bring your own picnic onboard, and drift through the canals at your own pace. It’s a fun activity for any age, and I don’t let a summer go by without doing this at least once.
Summertime places to eat and drink in Paris:
Another great way to stay cool is with a crisp refreshment or meal at this perfect places for summer.
Heavy fondue or hot chocolate? No merci. Picking the right places to eat or drink in summer can also make a huge difference to your summer Paris trip.

Sample amazing artisanal ice cream
Summer in Paris also means ice cream season, and the city takes its glaciers very seriously. The legendary Berthillon (WA) is the classic choice, with scoops sold from little stands around Île Saint-Louis. But there are plenty of other excellent options around the city.
Hidden in the heart of the Marais, Une Glace à Paris is run by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, an award that’s basically for the best ice cream maker in France. For something more playful, head to Glazed, where flavors get a little wacky and where pistachio might be mixed with black sesame and yuzu.
And if you’re wandering along the Coulée Verte René-Dumont, the elevated park that inspired New York’s High Line, make a detour to Raimo (WA), one of the city’s oldest ice cream makers, scooping happily since 1947.

Have a refreshing drink next to Paris’s most beautiful bridge
Some of Paris’s best summer bars are right along the Seine, especially near the gorgeous Pont Alexandre III. My personal favorite is Rosa Bonheur sur Seine (WA with assistance), partly set on a boat with a huge terrace that fills up fast on sunny evenings. Next door, FLOW has a slightly calmer vibe and is a good option if you want dinner with your drinks. These hangouts are conveniently at the end of the walking route of Day 1 of our Paris Itinerary.

Hang out with Parisians in secret local spots along the Seine
I do really like the spots above, but if you want to go to places most other tourists won’t find, go to eastern Paris, where there are two clusters of great riverside bars.
The first is on the Quai de la Rapée, south of Gare de Lyon on the Right Bank. Here you’ll find Mazette, a lively barge docked next to the Seine, with a cool restaurant, bar, and club, and Barapapa (WA), a summertime-only bar that has relaxed seating, craft beer, street food, and DJ nights.
A little further east and on the Left Bank is Le Petit Bain (WA), a modern boat, and with a large terrace on land, and La Dame de Canton, a traditional Chinese boat that hosts concerts.

Have an aperitif on a Parisian café terrace
Of course, half the joy of Paris in summer is simply claiming a café terrace for an hour or three and watching the city drift by with a cold rosé, beer, or iced tea in hand. Around apéritif hour, terraces all over the city start buzzing with that distinctly Parisian mix of chatter, clinking glasses, and people pretending they’re only staying for one drink.
You can grab a chair on virtually any terrace, but some of my favorites are Chez Ginette (WA, on the edge of Montmartre), Bar du Marché (in the local part of St-Germain), and Le Mansart (in hip South Pigalle), and you’ll also find them all in our Paris Itinerary so no need to try to figure out how to add them into your plan.

Chill on a sultry rooftop bar
Paris’s rooftop bar scene has also exploded in recent years, and summer is the perfect excuse to check one out. There’s usually a breeze up on Paris rooftops, a small miracle during a Paris heatwave.
I’ve brought together my top picks in this article on the best rooftop bars in Paris, but a few of my fav spots are Maggie Rooftop, which has sweeping views of Sacré-Coeur and rooftops, and Bar à Bulles, which gives you a close-up view of the Moulin Rouge.
Image courtesy of Joli
Enjoy an al fresco meal in a stunning garden
Rooftops are very nice in summer, but Paris also has some wonderful restaurants within gorgeous gardens, which are super delightful at this time of year. Some of the best are the Hotel Particulier (Montmartre), Hotel Eldorado (Les Batignolles), and Joli (Carnavalet Museum’s cafe).
Image courtesy of Moncoeur Belleville
Watch the summertime sunset where the locals do
Paris also has some great local places that aren’t rooftops, but have amazing sunsets. Two of my favorites are Moncoeur Belleville, which has a large terrace with Eiffel Tower views, and Maison Maison, a bar along the Parc Rives de Seine that has amazing views towards the sunset. It gets dark pretty late in summer, so you can’t expect to see the sunset until after 10 pm, but you can come a little earlier first.

Track down the city’s best and most refreshing salads
A lot of French food is pretty heavy and isn’t exactly light summertime fare. But Parisians also LOVE salads. All cafés will serve up meal-sized salads, but if you want to try some of the best in the city, go to Bagnard (famous nicoise salads), Relais de Gascon (giant salads in Montmartre), Mongoo (salad bar), or Mure (whose ingredients come from its own farm).
(WA varies by location)
Escape summer in the summer in the city on a fantastic day trip from Paris:
I adore Paris, but in the summertime heat it can be nice to escape the stifling city. Here are my top picks for a half day or full day out of town.
If you need a little break from the crowds and stifling city heat, it’s super easy to get out of Paris for a few hours to a full day.
Image courtesy of Château de Fontainebleau via Facebook
Wander through the gardens of a historic castle
If you’d like to combine elegant gardens and a little château daydreaming, summer is the perfect time to escape to one of the grand castles around Paris. The Palace of Versailles is the obvious star, but if you’d rather dodge some of the crowds, try the Château Vaux-le-Vicomte (partially WA****), the castle that famously inspired Versailles, or the beautiful Château de Fontainebleau (partially WA****), surrounded by elegant gardens and a vast forest perfect for long summer walks.
These are both in our Paris Day Trip Guide, which includes all the info, from how to reach each place by public transport to the best places to eat at each destination.
****Check each individual site for more information about accessibility entrances and more.

Do a full or half-day hike in a beautiful forest
With the nice weather and bountiful greenery, summer is also a great time to get out of the densely packed (and piping hot) city. If you’re more into connecting directly with nature, there are actually several gorgeous forests near Paris that are ideal for a day hike.
You might want to venture out to the Oise-Pays de France Natural Regional Park, a huge protected area northwest of Paris. Or try the Chevreuse Valley Natural Park, a large nature reserve south of the city, with a village and former abbey you can visit.
Savor Monet’s stunning gardens in Giverny
If you love art and gardens, you have to go to Giverny. This is where the Impressionist artist Claude Monet lived, and you can visit his gorgeous house and the spectacular gardens.
You can visit it yourself, and I’ve explained how to do this in our Paris Day Trip Guide, or another fun way to go is on this Giverny bike tour by Boutique Tours. It includes transportation to and back from Paris, entrance into the Monet Foundation, and a lovely bike ride nearby.

Walk in the footsteps of van Gogh in charming Auvers-sur-Oise
Monet wasn’t the only artist to paint in a village near Paris, and the cute town of Auvers-sur-Oise was made famous by Vincent Van Gogh. This is where he lived and painted during the last few months of his life, and is where he passed away in 1890.
If you’d like a little help visiting Auvers, this private Auvers-sur-Oise tour (WA) is a great option, or everything you need to know is included in our Paris Day Trip Guide.
Image courtesy of Trouville
Have a beach day, only an hour or two from Paris
If you’re craving a real beach, you can actually reach some fabulous seaside towns in only an hour to two by train. The best are certainly bordering the twin towns of Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer.
There’s also Honfleur, which has a super charming port and wide beaches nearby. Dieppe and Etretat are also reachable in about two hours, and their beaches are surrounded by dramatic cliffs.
Fabulous summertime festivals in Paris to check out:
Add a little extra groove to your Paris summer trip by going to one of these fun festivals. This is also a great way to hang with the locals.
Image courtesy of Fête de la Musique via Facebook
Party with Parisians during the Fête de la Musique
Summer kicks off in France with a huge country-wide party. Called la Fête de la Musique, it’s a summer solstice music party that’s held annually on June 21st. You’ll find bands and DJs in front of bars, in little squares, and other unique venues, and it’s always a blast!
Image courtesy of Gay Pride via Facebook
Take part in one of Europe’s largest Pride events
Like many other places around the world, June is Pride month in Paris, and the events here are fabulously festive. Paris’s Gay Pride parade usually takes place the last weekend of June, and the two weeks around it feature The Quinzaine des Fiertés, a festival with debates, shows, exhibitions, and events broadening awareness of the LGBTQ+ community.
Image courtesy of La Défense Jazz Festival via Facebook
Groove to some Jazz during the La Défense Jazz Festival
If you love Jazz music, you won’t want to miss the La Défense Jazz Festival (WA). This is a leading international Jazz festival held at the end of June in the business district found west of Paris and accessible on the métro. There are a lot of free concerts so it’s worth trekking out there.
Image courtesy of Solidays via Facebook
Dance the weekend away during the Solidays music festival
One of France’s best rock and pop music festivals of the year is Solidays (WA), a three-day music festival at the end of June. It usually has a great line-up of top international bands and singers, with proceeds going to the fight against AIDS. So your fun times are helping a good cause.
Image courtesy of Festivals du Parc Floral via Facebook
Relax in a gorgeous botanical garden while listening to live music
On weekends from late June to early September, the Parc Floral, a pretty botanical garden in the Bois de Vincennes, hosts Jazz and classical music concerts (WA). The concerts are free, but there is a small entrance fee to get into the park.
It’s a great place to bring a picnic and chill under a shady tree to some groovy tunes. Be sure to take a stroll around the gardens before you leave.
Celebrate France’s National Holiday on July 14th
Called Bastille Day abroad, known in France as “La Fete Nationale”, July 14th is France’s national holiday. There are a lot of activities here in Paris, from a military parade on the Champs-Elysées to lively parties at firehalls, both on July 13th and 14th. You’ll find full details in my article on what to do on Bastille Day in Paris.
Image courtesy of Rock en Seine via Facebook
Close off the summer at Rock en Seine
The last big event of the summer in Paris is Rock en Seine (WA). This popular music festival takes place in late August at Domaine National de Saint-Cloud, just outside Paris. It also has French and international bands and is a super fun event to party with the locals and cap off the summer in Paris.
Image courtesy of La Villette via Facebook
Watch some open-air cinema at La Villette
From late July through mid-August, the Parc de La Villette, a vast park that sprawls across northeastern Paris, holds an open-air cinema festival (WA). A whole range of movies is screened on a giant outdoor screen. In front of this is a huge lawn where you can throw down a blanket and put out a picnic spread.
Many of the films are shown in English or with subtitles, so check out the line-up to see if there are any good ones being screened during your stay. The movie usually starts around 9:30 or 10 pm, so plan to come earlier to stake out a spot.
