Packing For Paris In Summer – And Our Latest Free Packing Guide

Packing for Paris in summer

You are probably aware – either via the news or the astonishing Instagram photos – that the rain has been bucketing down in Paris. To say that it has been a rather damp start to the Parisian summer is a bit of an understatement really!

With so much discussion going on about the Parisian weather this week my mind has been drawn back to this time last year. Exactly one year ago we were in Paris enjoying our photo shoot with Carla Coulson and basking in an early season heatwave. Temperatures were high and the mood in Paris was sparkling.

This year’s inclement weather is a good reminder that when you are packing for a trip to Paris – regardless of the season – you really do have to be ready for anything.

But packing for Paris in summer doesn’t have to be difficult – all it takes is a little bit of thought and some planning.

My best advice for Parisian summer packing (or any time of the year for that matter) is to rely on layers. That way you’ll not only be stylish but you’ll also be ready for whatever Mother Nature dishes up.
