There are three bits to the Palais-Royal The main building is Government offices and not open to the public. The theatre is part of the Comédie-Française, and you have to buy a ticket. The gardens are open as a public park, and the apartments surrounding them are among the highest-rent properties in Paris. So only the gardens are open to the public, and entrance is free. Don't miss the Palis-Royal, it's lovely, one of my favourite places in Paris. For forty years of my pictures, see http://www.franceinpictures.com/palroy.htm

Paris has a temparate climate

In the summer, the weather is pretty mild. Ranging from the high fifties to the high seventies. The Northern Atlantic current causes the temperature to not be extreme in the summer and the winter

Spring is beautiful there. It can sometimes get slightly cold there in spring, but not too bad.

Winter is nice there also. Paris does not get as cold as some places in the East Coast during winter. When I went there for Christmas one year it was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit and only snowed once in the week I was there.

---------------

Weather in Paris is much like here in England. Cold through from the end of August - mid may. A little warmer the rest. Weather patterns in the south of France are somewhat different. much nicer when you go down.

The climate is mild and temperate. In autumn the weather may be wet and a bit windy but temperatures are still well above freezing point. It might as well be clear and rather sunny. In Winter it is possible to have (part of) 10 to 15 days below freezing point, mostly at dawn. In the Summer the weather is usually ageeable and reasonably hot.

----------------

Paris weather could be described as "temperate" and "variable". Winter daytime typically about 7C (45F), rarely below freezing, but frost at night is frequent. Occasional snow, wind and rain frequent. Summer daytime typically 25C (77F), can be anything from 20C (68F) to 32C ((90F), cooler at night. Summer rain not so frequent, but there is no real dry period such as on the mediterranean coast.

So take a waterproof whenever you go, but with luck you may not need it.

Possibly, it should be noted that the University of Paris is the oldest college or university still extant. it also had the longest shut-down from revolutionary times well up to the mid-nineteenth century. Pubishing, not limited to textbooks, is a common ancillary activity of many colleges in the US. Certainly they have bookstores with merchandise for students- possibly restricted to current student body and alumni- etc.A very good question.
