Paris Accommodation: 2-bedroom apartment in Madeleine Opera Le Louvre (PA-809)
Face it, summer is over. While saying goodbye to long days and open-toe shoes is never easy, autumn in Paris ushers in beautiful weather and a return to everyday life for most Parisians. Visiting Paris during the fall season is a great pleasure for the savvy tourists that decide to jaunt to Europe just after the hordes of summer guests have skipped town. Each year, in celebration of the start of the new work and school year (le rentrée as the French call it), Paris hosts the Festival d’Ile de France. Plenty of New York Habitat accommodations are available this fall, as they are each and every fall.
And for all of you readers flipping through the French dictionary, Ile in French normally means island; in this case Ile de France refers to the city of Paris and all of its outlying suburbs. Beginning on September 5th and running over a month, the multi-venue festival has become a favorite of Parisians and culturally savvy tourists. For this year’s edition the festival will take place at some 30 or so picturesque sites, from well-known public theatre houses to off-the-beaten-path churches and museums. The festival tackles a diverse offering including world and classical music, jazz and contemporary talks (in French, bien sure) and workshops.
Culture hounds in Paris for the festival should take a look at the New York Habitat apartments highlighted below:

The Fall is an amazing time in Paris. It is less crowded than during Summer time. You can have very nice days not as hot as July/August. Enjoy a nice crepes (one of france specialty) and hot chocolate on the Chmaps Elysees for instance. Don’t forget your jacket because it can be cool at night.

I agree. France, particularly Paris, is special in the fall. The food is excellent at that time of the year and the hot chocolate is simply delicous on their cool nights. Jacket required.
