I haven't been in Paris in July, but in Germany in July you'd
need a raincoat and a sweater or jacket (it isn't always cold
in the summer, but it does have cool spells, particularly when
it rains).

More so. Outside of Paris (far outside, not suburbs) waiters
are friendlier and more willing to acknowledge languages other
than French. I wasn't impressed by food or restaurants in
Paris, but in other parts of France the food is superb.
