Visiting Paris, Bruges, Strasbourg from April 2-7. How cold will it be? How should I dress? Are there many tourists at this time?
Expect highs in the 50s to 70s. The night time temperatures probably won't drop below 40.
You'll see other tourists, but not nearly as many as in summer.
We were in Paris this past April and did fine with a sweater and light jacket. Temperatures were in the 50's and 60's. I have not been during the busy tourist times, but did not feel that there was an extensive number of other tourists about. Very limited lines to speak of (especially at Ste. Chapelle, which I was most worried about) and the numbers that were about seemed pleasant rather than overwhelming.
I was in Burgundy in early April. Some days barely made it into the 50s, and there was a good bit of rain. Other days were much nicer, but be prepared.
