On our seasonal data, January is typically the cheapest month and July the most expensive.

- Travel month — Paris prices climb from spring into a July peak, and December is also busier.
- Accommodation style — the gap between Budget and Premium rooms is especially wide in Paris.
- Group size — sharing a room with a second traveller lowers the cost per person the most here.
- Trip length — longer stays add nights, which is where most of the Paris budget goes.
- Departure city — flights are estimated separately for where you start.
