So January? Eh. 5 days is a bit short for so much jet lag. I wouldn't do it.

Also, the Olympics will be in Paris in July-August 2024. Avoid unless you like that sort of thing. It's going to be mobbed.

Thank you. I’m glad I checked here.

I almost made an impulse ticket purchase this morning.

Lol.

I feel sorry for you that you would actually change your plan based on what the DCUM loonies say.

I had a lovely couple’s trip to Paris in February once. Yes, dark and dreary, but vin chaud was lovely and it felt cozy and romantic. Obviously not quite the vibe with a teen as with a boyfriend, but I liked it.

Oh, you should reconsider. Despite the weather, etc., it’s much easier to feel really a part of the city, with fewer tourists. I’ve always enjoyed my fall/winter trips.
