Well today is May Day and I'll offer you all a virtual sprig of Lily of the Valley which is the traditional gift today.

It brings joy and happiness for the coming year

Is it a public holiday in France? Those wait times are scary for a Tuesday!

Merci beaucoup and enjoy the garden. I'd swap you DLP for a garden

Yes it's May Day, unlike the UK which always has the first Monday off as May Day France has the 1st of May every year.

This year we got lucky as it wasn't a Sat/Sun (they don't get carried over here, so if it falls on a none working day tant pis we "lose" them)

Next Tuesday will be the same crowd wise as it's another day off

Thanks. I'll mark it in my calender as a day to avoid in future!

Thanks Carrie Cat and happy May day to you too.

Those waits didn't look too terrible considering it was a public holiday - nowhere near as bad as the day after ascension day last year. At a similar time of day even IASW was showing an hour!

The restaurants were heaving even at that time still and the DV was jammed. I think that was as many people, if nor more than last year, but because of the late night opening people weren't doing the parks in the same way as before. It will be interesting to see other peoples impressions after visiting on holidays

Merci beaucoup Carrie! C'est très jolie!

They are aren't they and they smell so nice here in the room with me.

It's commerating the end of the 2nd World War of the 8th May and then we get the 17th which is for the Ascension and then the 28th which is for Pentecostal Do you not get the Catholic holidays in Italy then ? I thought you would
