France
For Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October), pack a Light jacket or a trench coat. Sweaters and Long-sleeved shirts work well for cooler days. Comfortable trousers or jeans are good for walking. A waterproof outer layer, like a Lightweight Rain Jacket, serves as a useful item due to frequent showers.
For Summer (June-August), bring light clothing made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. T-shirts, shorts, skirts, and dresses suit daytime. Evenings become cooler, so pack a light sweater or a thin jacket. For Winter (November-March), a warm coat (wool or down) becomes necessary. Layering is important: pack sweaters, scarves, Gloves, and hats. Thermal wear gives warmth on particularly cold or damp days.
