April is Paris in spring: blossoming chestnut trees, café terraces reopening and 16°C afternoons — with cool mornings and sudden showers. Easter brings crowds. Bring layers you can peel off by lunchtime.

☀️ By day

Light trench, Breton top, straight jeans and white leather sneakers.

🌙 Evening

Fine knit or light jacket — evenings drop to around 8°C.

What's on in April

Typical dates. Many festivals follow lunar calendars, so check this year's dates before you book.

Easter weekend

March or April

Easter Monday is a public holiday, chocolate shops fill their windows and churches hold big services — cover shoulders if attending.

Spring blossoms

Early to mid-April

Cherry and magnolia trees bloom around Notre-Dame, the Champ de Mars and Jardin des Plantes. Soft colours and a trench coat make the classic spring photo outfit.

Dress code

  • Neutral, well-fitted basics (navy, black, beige, white) blend in; loud prints and logos stand out.
  • Cover shoulders inside churches such as Notre-Dame and Sacré-Cœur; a scarf works.
  • Leave gym wear and flip-flops for the hotel — smart sneakers or loafers are the local default.
