The myth that everything in Europe closes down in August is not a myth at all; it happens all the time, especially in countries like Italy, Spain, and, yes, France. This month, most locals go on vacation, and many restaurants and small businesses close for weeks at a time.
But, in reality, every month in Paris has its advantages - even August, if avoiding large crowds of Parisians sounds appealing. Winters aren't too cold, and Christmas in Paris is like something out of a movie. And, of course, Paris in the spring is unrivalled.
Most Beautiful Places in Paris
Eiffel Tower
What would Paris be like without the iconic Eiffel Tower? Gustave Eiffel designed it to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution and it debuted at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889. The Eiffel Tower (la Tour Eiffel) is the most visited tourist attraction in the world and ranks high on the list of places to visit in France. It's difficult to believe that when it was first unveiled, the structure was dismissed as a monstrosity. Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel designed the iconic tower for the 1889 Paris Exhibition, which commemorated the centennial of the French Revolution.
The tower is made up of 18,000 strong iron held together by 2.5 million rivets. This innovative structure is now regarded as a masterful architectural feat and is the most recognisable landmark in Paris. The tower, which stood 324 metres tall, was the world's tallest building until the Empire State Building was built.
