After submitting my last Favorite Five List of Paris my brain went into overdrive when other Parisian landmarks and places I love to visit flooded my memory banks, so I decided to write another top five list....:)

These long hot days of summer are starting me make me think of the cooler months ahead, at least for those who don't live in Miami where it doesn't cool down until November or December, so when I start dreaming of travel, my thoughts start to fantasize about traveling to Paris in the cooler months when it's not sizzling.

Yes, at any time of the year is always special in that city but my favorite time to go is in the Fall...the leaves are turning colors in the parks and on the Grand boulevards, the crowds have thinned after the crazy summer tourist season is over and besides that, the airlines have some super special deals for traveling during Sept, Oct and November...It's still not too cold for outdoor activities or eating at the outdoor cafes and it's certainly not as hot as summer can be, expecially when many places aren't air-conditioned...Spring is a scrumptous time in Paris too, but there are quite a lot of holidays in May with store and museum closings and rain can be a nuisence if you are not lucky....yes, Fall is my favorite time I remember one November, hubby and I paid about $300 each to fly over there, we then used our American Airlines miles to upgrade to Business Class seats...They were even available on the dates we wanted due to the fact that this was not peak season...it was quite a luxury!
