The best packing lists for Paris

Paris is walked, not driven. The metro is full of staircases without lifts, two sights are often closer than they look on the map, and a normal day adds up to ten kilometres of pavement.

Good to know for Paris

The climate is mild and damp all year, with drizzle rather than downpours. A hood beats an umbrella in narrow streets, and from October to April you want a proper warm layer underneath.

Museums cap the size of bags and send larger backpacks to the cloakroom, so a flat zipped shoulder bag saves you queueing twice. Churches expect covered shoulders.

Pack one outfit that looks better than hiking gear: a technical jacket stands out in most restaurants here. Public drinking fountains across the city let you refill a bottle.

Lists from other travellers

Public packing lists, best rated first. Ratings and copies by other travellers decide the order.
