Does anyone know which days in May are holidays, or how I can find out? We will be in Paris from May 7 - 13.
Thanks |

My husband and I will be arriving in Paris on May 8th for a week. I never knew about the Fete de la Victoire before. Is there anything of interest taking place? How does it affect the usual day-to-day activities (ie, transportation or banking)?
Thanks, Paule |
I think I posted to this last year in the Spring. Since then I have been for a month mid Sept. to mid Oct. and the first half of Dec. I am now working on my trip for Paris arrival mid April and will be there til mid May.
The weather will be whatever it decides to be. I just start watching the first of April to see what it might be like. It has been a bad winter every place. Perhaps we will be able to look forward to an early Spring! Enjoy... |
I see a few of you will be in Paris in May. I posted a question about a fodorite get together. If you're interested, email me! Here's the link to the thread for the GTG: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=35180611
