any negatives/drawbacks visiting paris first week May
 

Hello,

Any thoughts regarding possible visit to Paris first week in June this year. I haven't looked at renting yet. I have a lot of reading/researching to do. Is there anything I should be aware of or wary of visiting at this time? Thanks for any feedback.

Sorry, heading should read: first week June

Not aware of any holidays then - but it's late enough in the year to be crowded - esp with college students. Early Many (after Labor Day_ is less crowded and might get you better hotel rates.

The French Open runs May 23 - June 6 this year so there will be increased demand for hotel rooms, and hotels/apartment near the Roland Garros venue may have higher rates at that period, but Paris is large enough that you should be able to book something without problems.

1st weekend in june you will have the MESUREXPO 01 June – 03 June 2010, Criminal Law Conference 04 June – 05 June 2010, JOINT UITP/UTP CONFERENCE - 07 June.

to be fair, we have exhibitions and conferences every week in Paris, you should be fine

I agree -- it should be no problem.
