August in Paris is a dream. Yes it can be hot, and yes a lot of places are closed, but the city empties and it’s magical. It’s quiet and peaceful without traffic which makes the city that much more beautiful. As I’m writing this post the temperatures are in the mid 60s which is making me so excited for the fall. If you have a chance to visit Paris in August I highly recommend it. Read on to discover exactly where I ate and drank, shopped, and what I did in the August 2025 recap.

We arrived back in Paris a few days later than expected after Romain had a slight passport mishap. I didn’t mind because I got a few more days of Tex-Mex. Jet lag with the two bébés truly took it out of me, but after we recovered from that we enjoyed catching up with friends and going to some of our favorite restaurants before most people left town for summer holidays.

Looking back, I spent a lot of the month of June riddled with anxiety about an 11 hour flight with a newborn and 18 month old. Wiser friends with more parenting and long haul travel with children experience tried to calm me down, to no avail. Luckily the pre-travel anxiety seemed to be punishment enough and the flight itself was shockingly easy. Time will tell if history repeats itself as we have another 11 hour flight in about a week. This time I’m not nervous at all. Otherwise it was a sweet start to summer – read on to discover exactly what I ate and drank, did, and where I shopped in the June 2025 recap.
