Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world to visit and sees a lot of tourist traffic the whole year through. I believe that the best time visit this glorious city of lights is during the summer, when the weather is warm, sunny and breezy and the French countryside is 
abloom with flowers.
Since the summer can get to be a bit hot during the month of August, many of the locals leave for cooler areas and countryside in France. Those people who do stay back and brave the heat however, manage to enjoy the best of the city. Such special treats include the discounted hotel rates, low cost meals and plenty of free treats. The airfares do remain the same as many Parisians opt to fly out of the city in search of cooler climes.
Paris has plenty of offer the summer traveller, both in terms of sights to see, attractions to visit and events that you can participate in. during the summer, Paris opens its heart to tourists and hosts several outdoor events like concerts, shows and festivals. Many of these events offer free entry only adding to their appeal.
Some of the activities that you are sure to enjoy in Paris include a visit to the local markets which are full of fresh summer produce, sampling seasonal cuisine and sun bathing at the Paris Plage.
The Paris Plage is by far my favourite part of summer and is an event held in the month of august. Since the city has no beach of its own, it hosts a fake beach complete with palm trees and sea sand on the banks of the Seine. Although swimming is not allowed at the Paris plage, I find the idea of relaxing under a sunshade by a man made river beach to be utterly fascinating.
