May in Paris is one of the best times to visit – because there are all these long weekends when many Parisians are away and you can have the city with a bit more room to roam, but I should warn that it?s also one of the months where the rain is a bit unpredictable (but temperatures generally start to increase – so let the un-layering begin!

DRINK
Lot of Wine close to the Seine river has been one of my secret spots to go under the radar and have GREAT wine with a platter of cheese or sausage. If you?re in the mood for a romantic night along the seine you can borrow some glasses from them and go for a wander with your bottle.
