I always see Paris as the most beautiful city in the world at every time of the year. But, if I have to recommend a specific month when visit Paris, I would choose one from June to October. In Summer and Fall, you can visit Paris taking advantage of very good weather. Even if January is probably the coldest month of the year, it’s May the rainiest month in Paris.

It is safe to travel in France. Paris is one of the safest cities in the world – there are so many checkpoints around every corner. Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Paris is still fighting against its spreading but you can already visit the city wearing a mask and respecting the social distancing.
