PARIS Last weekend of AUG.

Will the last weekend of AUG. have the same summer crowds as the rest of AUG. ?

I am wondering if there would be any noticable difference since public school normally starts the begining of SEPT.

Thank you for any insight.

There aren't really tons of summer crowds in Paris in August. Most Europeans will go to the mountains or the beach for vacation, not to the city.

For example, my niece is coming this week, and last Thursday and Friday I bought her tickets for the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre this week without any problem.

Was in Paris last week August 2025. Not very crowded anywhere (except Versailles),including Notre Dame, Opera Garnier, Saint Chapelle. Weather coolish, rained most days, with occasional sunshine. A few smaller shops were closed, but everything else open
