When To Go

[alle_rednic]

When is the best time to go to DLP in Spring?
I'm thinking either April or May?

I want to go on a solo trip but my Mom wants to come with me.
Is it better to go midweek or over a weekend?
I'd prefer if it was quite empty in the parks.

Weekends are busier then during the week. April and May are both good but you need to check when the Easter school hols are and may has a few French bank holidays which tend to make the parks busier

midweek is always better than weekends for low crowds at DLP in Spring.

In April and May, avoid Easter weekend completely (so thats Friday 3rd April to Monday 6th April) then the French school holidays run from 11th April to 10th May, and completely avoid Ascension Day weekend too (Thursday 14th May to 17th May).

If you can't go between 6th April and 10th April, or after 18th May until the end of May, the quieter French school holiday period to go are the ones which don't include zone 3 (Parisien area) -

I love Spring trips at DLP - especially if they are continuing with the Spring Festival, as they did this year .
