Fall season, already!? Well, it is still just the end of August and the end of the traditional travel season. That is based on what most people think of anyway which comes from the traditional summer break from school. September is however a great time to travel in France for just the very reason that the Europeans have gone back to work, and kids are in school again. (Sorry to the parents of school age kids - I know as I am among you!)

The downside to travel this September is the difficulty of Paris hotel availability in September. Trade shows, fashion shows, and then World Cup Rugby have the city full to the brim! We have very limited space in our hotel group, so contact ASAP if you need a hotel. If you are booked, then check out some of the good offers below. If you are thinking about 2008, it isn't too early to start planning. For groups, it is highly encouraged. On our side of the business we start to publish 2008 rates in September time frame. Enjoy!
