February stays cold and damp with short days, and is one of the cheapest months for hotels. Valentine's Day brings couples and fully booked restaurants. Layer a thermal under your usual outfit and you'll be comfortable walking all day.

☀️ By day

Warm coat, thermal under jeans and knitwear — damp cold around 8°C.

🌙 Evening

Smarter knit and coat for Valentine's dinners.

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.
