Mondays Can Be a Challenge in Paris
Bonjour, It’s very important to make note of Mondays in Paris and plan accordingly. Mondays are not as casual as Sundays but not fully operational either. Certain patisseries, cafes, hair salons, shops and musuems are closed which can really sidetrack well-laid plans. Traffic is less and those who worked in service industries all weekend often […]
Rainy, Cool Sunday in Paris
