With August heat waves over, more and more Parisians are traveling in “shoulder months” - April/May, September/October. And with fewer crowds, lower costs, better weather, and businesses still in full swing, it’s neither too crowded nor is it deserted. Spain is a perfect choice: a vibrant world of distinct cultures and landscapes not that far away, and low-cost direct flights are easy to book. - BPJ
