GOOD FRIDAY IN PARIS? ARE THINGS OPEN?
 

Hi everyone! <BR> <BR>Just decided to take the kids to Paris! However, we are restricted to the week that includes Good Friday because of the college schedule. <BR> <BR>Does anyone know if most sites and museums are open? Does the Metro run all day like usual? <BR> <BR>I'm getting ready to go looking for special events/concerts that week but does anyone know of any off hand? Especially at Notre Dame or St. Chapelle. <BR> <BR>Any help would be appreciated. <BR> <BR>Thanks!

All museums, shops, transportation, etc. have a regular schedule in Paris on Good Friday, since this is not a legal holiday. The only "special events" on that day may take place in churches! <BR>

I will be in Paris then also and flying home on Easter. Poor planning on my part. My research shows that 80% of the French are Catholic so the churches and cathedrals may be packed.

Thanks for the information Joelle. <BR> <BR>Hi Tina, we will also be flying out on Easter but had no choice. One of my stepsons ends school 3-27 and starts again 4-5! Didn't leave us with much choice... <BR> <BR>The churches and cathedrals are very nice but if they're packed, there are many other things to do. <BR> <BR>Have a great trip!
