I'll be there from 1st - 4th June. What kind of clothes should I wear? (e.g. jacket, flip flops, etc.)

Plus, I'll be staying a hotel which is a 7-minute drive from Eiffel Tower and 15-minute drive from Louvre and the metro station is only 100 meters approx. away. I'll be going to a few places in one day so is that okay?

  1. I certainly hope you're not actually planning on driving in Paris. Not only is the traffic horrendus but parking is nearly impossible.

    I think I've already answered the question on what to pack to either you or a member of your party. On the possiblity that this is not the case I will repeat it here:

    June in Paris has an average temperatures at around 62 degrees F but there can be considerable variation during the day and into the evening. Bring clothes that you can layer to be able to switch back and forth.

    June is also one of the rainiest months of the year with average monthly rainfalls of 2.2 inches. An umbrella is a good idea.( I have one of those rain slickers that can be folded into its own small carrying case and put in a pocket which I find more conveneient.)

    Proper water repellant footwear is an absolute neccessity. Even if you do choose to use public transport a great deal there is no substitute for sturdy walking shoes. Nothing will make your trip more miserable than to be walking with blistered feet in damp footwear. Don't forget to pack several pairs of good socks.

    Forget fashion, here is where practical considerations are most important. Indeed, let me mention that I notice frequent questions about how to dress based on the perceived need to "not stand out" as a tourist. Dismiss these thoughts from you consideration. You ARE a tourist and trying to "blend in" is going to fail anyway (unless you speak flawless and unaccented French). Dress for your own comfort and convenience.


  2. wear a beret, stripy top and carry a french stick, you'll fit right in.
