Valentine's might be in the rearview, but a romantic trip to Paris is a perfect present any time of the year, especially when cheap fares to the City of Lights are starting as low as $261 roundtrip!

The legacy carriers are having a small fare war on flights to France today, with American, Delta, and United all dropping prices from major hubs for spring and fall travel. Some select routes are even available in August! Many itineraries may be operated by partner airlines such as British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Air France, or Air Canada, some of which allow for a free stopover, so you can turn it into a 2-for-1 trip to Europe!
