Easter 2020 dates and weather forecasts

Easter 2020 is on April 12. If you come to Paris to celebrate Easter 2020, I suggest to note down other special dates too. Good Friday is April 10, and April 13 is Easter Monday. Usually, during these days people love to plan a day-trip outside Paris. That is why I suggest remaining in the city!

Weather forecasts for Easter 2020 are good! April is one of the best months to visit Paris. That is because the weather is not too cold or too warm. The temperature average in April 2020 in Paris is 57 F° (14 C°).
