paris in august

[denpunk]

Is it worth a trip to Paris in August or do Parisians leave the city en masse for holidays?

[Lil O'lady]

Yes they do, and their places are filled by coachloads of tourists. Paris is always beautiful but even more beautiful in Spring or autumn

[naomi24]

I'll second that.

Well, if they all ****** off wouldn't it be better?

To quote whoever: "Paris is wasted on the French".

[pink-kittens]

Don't expect it to be deserted though, will you? lol

Paris is always busy, regardless of the time of year

Paris is heaven for drivers in August; you can actually find a parking spot quite easily (was free don't know whether it still is) and drive around the city no problem. Quite a few caf�'s and restaurants are closed though
