A practical, season-by-season Paris packing list from a team that lives here. Paris is a walking city of cobblestones and quick-changing weather, so the right shoes and layers matter more than a big suitcase. Below is what actually earns its place in your bag, whatever the month.
Spring and autumn call for layers and a light waterproof jacket, since Paris weather turns fast. Summer is warm but rarely extreme, so breathable fabrics and comfortable walking shoes win. Winter needs a proper coat, a scarf, and shoes that handle wet pavement. In every season, leave room for what you will buy here.
A European plug adapter, a compact umbrella, a crossbody bag that closes properly for busy metro stations, and truly broken-in walking shoes. Dressy but comfortable outfits open more restaurant doors than sneakers and shorts.
