And in October you will not be burdened by those annoying blue skies and bright sunshine that ruins many a photograph ;-) You are not going to have problems doing ordinary street photography or photographing buildings. Just look at all the pictures I and others have posted from Paris, Perpignan and other places in France this year. French law is strict, true, but mainly as it applies to commercial use. In practice it is no more difficult to do street photography in France than in any other European country.
