Seasonal Flavours in Paris This July

In July, Paris reaches peak abundance. The markets overflow with sun-soaked produce, herbs burst with fragrance, and cheese boards lean toward the fresher, funkier end of the spectrum. Here’s what’s tasting especially good this month:

🍅 What’s in Season Now:

• Tomatoes – Juicy, sun-ripened, and ready for salade or tartine.
• Aubergines (Eggplant) – Ideal for grilling, layering in ratatouille, or slathering with garlic oil.
• Courgettes (Zucchini) – Tender and sweet—best shaved raw or pan-seared.
• Peppers – In full colour and crunch mode.
• Cherries & Apricots – Great for clafoutis, jams, or devouring by the handful.
• Peaches & Nectarines – At their dripping, slurp-worthy peak.
• Melon (Charentais especially) – Pair with jambon cru or scoop with a spoon.
• Fresh Herbs – Basil, mint, tarragon, and chervil are thriving.
• Fresh Goat Cheese (Chèvre) – Creamy, tangy, and perfect with fruit or toast.

🥀 Saying Goodbye To:

• Asparagus – The last spears vanish early this month.
• Spring Peas & Broad Beans – Making way for heartier summer greens.
• Strawberries – Still around but fading; switch to stone fruits.

Whether you’re cooking at home or browsing bistro menus, now’s the time to embrace raw preparations, chilled soups, and bright herbaceous sauces. Paris in July is a seasonal feast waiting to be devoured.

What to Look Out for on the Menus in Paris in July

Here’s what locals are eating in Paris during July:

• Ratatouille (finally tastes like sunshine)
• Chilled melon with cured ham
• Tartes aux fruits rouges
• Salade niçoise done properly (read: no lettuce!)

Avoid the tourist traps selling fondue in 30-degree heat. And beware of anything with “truffle oil” — it’s rarely the real deal.

What You Can’t Miss Eating in Paris in July 2025

The craving this month? Peach tart with almond cream and a cold glass of pét-nat on a shaded terrace. Pure joy.

Food Tour Guide

From the bustling streets of Paris to the heat of a professional kitchen, my life has always revolved around food. A Brit who moved to France at 16, I trained as a chef in a Parisian palace kitchen at 18 and have spent decades cooking, eating, and living like the French.

By day, I run kitchens and events, but Eat Like The French is my side hustle—a way to share my passion for French food through writing and food tours. After a detour into tech recruitment, I returned to what I love most: cooking and storytelling—one dish, one tour, and one bite at a time.
