Paris in late May?

I was there and Amsterdam around that time last year. The weather was pretty nice and I didn't find it to be overly busy.

I started and ended in Paris, but hopped over two Amsterdam for 2 days. Took a train there (which was pretty cool) and a KLM flight back. Only about 1.5-2hrs or so of travel time if I remember correctly.

Bringing the wife in mid march for about 4 days. Any must do places or restaurants that aren't the typical tourist stuff?

Man when I went to Europe two years ago I expected it to be cool and wet.... It stayed in the mid 80's to low 90's the entire time and never rained. I brought clothes I never wore, took up too much space in my luggage.

Thanks for the suggestion. Added to the to do list.

I have been to Paris and London several times. We usually go in April for various reasons but I was in Paris/London for the 1st two weeks of June 2013. We had a great time. A couple of days the weather in Paris was hot which was not good since we were staying in an un-airconditioned apt. I remember Versailles being very crowded but other than that the crowds weren't too bad. Getting a museum pass really helps because it allows you to avoid many lines. Take the Eurostar train from London to Paris or vice versa. It takes you from downtown Paris to downtown London in about three hours. The weather is unpredictable. I have been in April when it was cold and rainy then two days later it was sunny and mild. In June we had a couple of days of hot weather but much of the time it was perfect. My advice is to go ahead and book it.

Good advice ^

Eurostar is a good recommendation as well if you want to go to London. No airports and you go from City Centre to City Centre. (Well, Close)

Ride the Metro in Paris and the Tube (if in London).

Cheers!

That's one of the best times to go IMO, still can get cool in the morning but heat up in the afternoon obviously. The reason I say best time is you have longer days but not smoking hot yet or extremely busy.

Too many restaurants to list and Paris is probably the best city in the world to eat, you can spend as little or as much as you want.

I went over Memorial Day weekend here and it wasn't bad at all. Even with the French open going on at the same time it still isn't a bad time to go.

Kind of a random bump but got my flight from May 23rd to Jun 2nd. Really excited about this trip

Another bump, but thoughts on how to do 8-9 days there?

I wish I were in Europe longer, but kind of keeping it on a budget since I'd like a few other things later in the year.

23-24: Travel days (Flying into CDG early on thr 24, relax around the city that day)
25-27: London?
28-31: Paris
1: A day trip somewhere outside the city
2: Fly back to US

There's enough in France to keep me busy, obviously, but wonder what the TB's thoughts are on a potential itinerary.
