French Christmas Holiday Times

[aj2703]

When do the french go back to work / school etc after Christmas. My kids go back on Tuesday the 6th. I am thinking of taking them from the 4th - 7th and am hoping it maybe quieter as i took them around the 2nd to the 6th earlier this year and it was madness with queuing times up to 2.5 hrs.

We go back on the 5th.

Agreed it will be quieter. I'd check the ride closures just to make sure none of them bother you (quite a few start on 5th).

We went to DLP at this time last year and the parks were quiet, hardly any queues for the rides and we managed to catch the last two days of the Christmas season which was fun.

But we did have to prioritise the rides we went on for the first two days before they started to close quite a few for refurbishment.
