What To Pack For Paris In June
What to Pack for Paris in June
Want to know what you should pack for Paris in June? I’ve put together a list of 24 classic and chic pieces to help you with your packing list so you feel elevated and put together during your time in the city of light.
June is a beautiful time to visit Paris, as the days are longer, the city is bustling, and it’s the prime season to sit on a terrace with the rest of the Parisians and enjoy an evening apéro or sit and linger in one of the many parks.
Weather In Paris During June
The weather in Paris during June is average highs of 62 during the day and average lows of 55 during the evenings. Even though the weather is mostly warm in June, it can still be chilly in the early mornings or at night.
Typically, there isn’t much rain during the month of June which makes it a nice time to visit the city. However, you can always pack an umbrella just in case.
Personally, Paris always seems a bit cooler to me, and maybe because it’s right by the river. However, it’s Paris so the weather can always change instantly and there could be a few muggy days where you also need an umbrella.
You want to pack layers for Paris even though it’s during the summer months. I always pack camis and extra T-shirts for Paris in case I need to layer. A light jacket such as a trench or leather jacket is a good idea to keep you warm and dry especially if you tend to get cold easily.

Shoes To Pack For Paris In June
Paris is best when explored on foot, there’s so much to see, and you don’t want to miss a thing. Just be prepared with comfortable shoes and remember Paris is full of cobblestone streets.
Since it is June you can bring a few pairs of open-toe shoes like sandals and ballet flats or loafers, but you also want to pack sneakers for walking.
Everyone in Paris wears sneakers these days, no matter the age, and some styles you’ll see locals wearing are Adidas Stan Smith and Sambas, French brand VEJA, and even New Balance and Nike are popular.
You can see my entire post dedicated to the best walking shoes for Paris here and the ones I find the most comfortable during my fall, spring, and summer trips.
I also carry around my Longchamp tote with an extra pair of shoes for the day. That way, if I want to stop and take pictures in one shoe but wear my sneakers to walk around, I can switch them out.
My one tip is to make sure you take along some sort of gel insoles and bandaids in case of blisters.
Also, Paris is not the place to break in new shoes so make sure you don’t bring a brand new pair to walk the city.

Neutral Outfits To Wear In Paris In June
Anytime I am packing for Paris I like to keep several things in mind. I prefer to blend in and look like a local, French women are the best dressed after all.
I tend to stick with a neutral color palette but also pack versatile items that you can easily mix and match to look chic and classic during the summer season and June.
You will see a lot of Parisian women in mostly jeans and trousers. Depending on the weather some will have on dresses or skirts with a jacket. No athleisurewear so leave your yoga pants at home, please.
Also, make sure to have your clothing all tailored ahead of time so you’re not rushing around at the last minute. I try to take my clothes 3-4 weeks ahead of time if possible.
Travel Essentials To Pack For Paris In June
Here are the items I consider essential for every Paris trip and always make sure to pack.
A great carry-on bag for the plane which is comfortable enough to carry everything I need. I have this carry-on bag that holds all my essentials. I also, bought this Longchamp in Paris on my last trip to use as well.
Inside the bag, I pack my eye mask, water bottle, and slippers ( I like to put these on when I am on the plane).
Of course, my headphones are always with me as well as my Mer Sea wrap that goes everywhere. You can see all the Paris travel essentials I make sure to pack here.
For my suitcase, I use these Amazon suitcases and they have been great. I also use these packing cubes to help me pack more and these laundry bags.
This luggage scale always goes with me so I know how heavy my bags are, and this travel steamer is perfect and works very well.
