Why Paris in Fall is a Season Worth Traveling For
Paris in fall feels like the city has taken a deep breath after the rush of summer. Tree-lined boulevards turn amber and gold, art museums debut new exhibitions, and café terraces invite you to linger over a chocolat chaud while leaves drift onto cobblestone streets. It’s a slower, warmer version of the city – perfect for savoring.
