Hello. We are thinking of taking the Paris and Heart of France tour and trying to decide what month is best. I have read April -May and Sept-Oct are preferred. Would love to hear of any personal recommendations. Thank you!
Yip Harburg, the lyricist for"April in Paris" was asked why April? It is often cool and rainy. His answer was "well, I wanted to use May but I needed two syllables." If you want early spring April is fine but May is a beautiful. September is summer without the crowds and October is nice,too.
Normandy can be cold and rainy anytime, but less so mid-summer.
Brittany is like Normandy, but I find its "robust" weather to be part of its lure.
