Paris in March

I am sure it varies from year to year. In March 2009, we left the Deep South following a rare snow storm to arrive in Paris to truly spring-like conditions. The warm, pleasant weather remained all week. But I am sure it is not normally like that.

We were is Paris for the first week of April this year. We got lucky, it was very sunny and the temps got up to the 70's. Walking around in the sun it actually felt quite warm. I had packed all long sleeve shirts thinking it might be a bit chilly. Ended up shopping for short sleeve shirts.

We were there for nine days in March 2010 and it was cool to chilly during the day and some days were really breezy. Beanies, scarfs, and gloves were pretty much a necessity, with an umbrella for just in case. Although it was cool it was mostly pleasant. The weather didn't stop us from going out at night to see the Eiffel Tower and on a Siene cruise. You can never tell what the actual weather will be until you get there. Pack for layers and you'll have a great time!

Well, coming from North Dakota, that is a major warmup for me!! I'll take it!

Carol's right about the weather. For women, so not Daniel, bring a pair of thin leather gloves in spring and fall. You are always outside walking! When it is damp, chilly and overcast, they feel wonderful.

My husband wore gloves and a scarf and a beanie. But we're from California!

I'm from Houston and have been to Paris a number of times in March and the weather hasn't been an issue. Be sure to layer. I usually do pants, tank & cardi with a scarf or tights, little dress or tank and cardi-both outfits with a jacket to start the day. I have a big Longchamp bag to stash my jacket in as I warm up.
