My husband and I are planning a 1 week visit to Paris at the start of a 5 week trip and were thinking the 1st week in May 2027. The flights we are considering arrive May 5 or April 28. I am leaning towards the April date as I know this last May has seen record temperatures in France, although I do know that it can also rain a lot that time of year. I understand May 1 is an important holiday and I'm wondering if museums and other sites in Paris will be open that day which appears to be a Saturday. Or will closures be extended to the following Monday? We expect to then spend about a week in and around Albi and them 3 weeks in the Dordogne. About 5 weeks total. It seems to me that a few days in April might be preferable to a few days in June but I am in a dither! Any advice would be very much appreciated.
