7-Day Pollen Forecast for Paris
Pollen Season in Paris
Paris and the Île-de-France basin experience a broad pollen season driven by the Seine valley's woodland, the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes, and the wheat and rapeseed fields of the surrounding Beauce plateau. Cypress and hazel begin the season in February, followed by alder and birch through March and April. Grass pollen from the extensive Paris Basin farmland dominates May and June, with counts frequently reaching High or Very High on warm, dry days. Plane trees lining Haussmann boulevards also contribute hairs and pollen that irritate eyes and airways. August brings mugwort and ragweed — ragweed is increasingly spreading northward from the Rhône valley and now reaches the Paris region. Around 20% of Parisians are affected by seasonal allergic rhinitis, particularly during the May grass pollen peak.
- Plane tree hairs in March and April can mimic pollen allergy — if symptoms start unusually early, this may be the cause.
- The Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes should be avoided during peak birch and grass season on dry afternoons.
- Watch for ragweed updates in August — its presence in Paris has grown significantly over the past decade.
