Best time to fly to Paris, France
The peak season for tourism in Paris is in the months of June and July when the weather is warm, tourist influx into the city is at the highest but on the down side everything right from accommodation to airfares will shoot up around this peak time and you must be prepared to shell out a few dollars more for your vacation. Travel in February if you want to save big on airfares and accommodation as this is the off-peak season. The shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) are ideal for sightseeing as well as some savings because of the low tourist footfall during these times. Regardless of the time of the year you plan to fly to Paris, you must always book your hotel and airfares at least 3 months in advance in order to leverage the lowest expenses of your trip. Reliable airlines for your flight from SFO TO CDG are Lufthansa, Air France and Swiss.
