Packing for a Trip to Paris in October
About.comParis Travel is an endless source of information about visiting Paris. Each month has its own page for expected
weather conditions and what to pack.
“October in Paris is generally chilly and
damp, with
average temperatures at around 52 degrees F. Rain is common and October is
generally best-suited for indoor activities like visiting exhibits at Paris'
many fine museums, or people-watching from inside a warm, cozy cafe. While
temperatures rarely dip to near-freezing in October, make sure to bring a few
sweaters, warm socks, and a coat suitable for autumn conditions.
Cloudy, rainy conditions are frequent in
October.
Make sure to pack a sturdy umbrella and at least one pair of waterproof shoes.
Also make sure your shoes are suitable for walking: Visits to Paris usually
involve lots of strolling, and the Paris metro is notorious for its seemingly
endless tunnels and stairs.”

Fortunately my friend gave me a nice warm pair of sox to wear as
we stroll, saunter, and amble our way around Gay Paree.
