It would be more proper to have a comma in between summer & it. "Like Paris in the summer, it ends."
Either way would be understood, though. :D
Hope this helps!

@TMmmmmmm "That-clause" is different than using the word "like". The word "like" most often means a comparison between two things or to favor/love towards something. It also can be used as a filler word without any real meaning.
In the example you gave, "like" is used to compare "Paris" and "summer".

('Like' is used as a comparison.)
I like cake.
('Like' is used to show favor/love.)
You're like my best friend
('Like' is used as a filler.)
