travelling to Paris around mid march with 2 kids. What is the weather like? Will it be good to visit euro disney during the period ? Can you suggest any resonable hotel apartment / pensions to stay in Paris ?

That%26#39;s about the beginning of the French monsoon season in Paris. Make sure you bring some good umbrellas.

Hi birdseyes,
On the accommodation issue, what sort of price in Euros do you want to pay for the accommodation per night and how many nights will you be staying? Eurodisney would be likely to be less crowded because the weather is likely to be quite cold. Here is a recent thread on the likely weather in March.

There is NO %26quot;monsoon season%26quot; in Paris. Paris has a typical temperate zone climate with rain spread fairly evenly through the year. November through April tend to be A BIT wetter than May through October, but a drier than normal March will have less rain than a wetter than normal June. Taking umbrellas is *always* a good idea though you may not need them.
myforecast.com and wunderground.com will both give you historical climate data for March. wunderground has a %26quot;Trip Planner%26quot; feature you may find useful.

Of course, Irish, I was exaggerating about the %26quot;monsoon season%26quot; in Paris. But a while back a was reviewing my travel journals to Paris. Over the past few years, I have been in Paris in March and April a total of 68 days. It has rained on at least 59 of them. Some of those days it has been just a sprinkle or two, but some of those days have been real downpours.
|||
We went to Paris last March from the 11-19 and it did not rain at all if I remember correctly. It was just very, very, cold. It was colder last March than when we went over this Thanksgiving week.

The two previous posts prove if proof were needed that anecdotal reports of what the weather will be like during any period in Paris (or much of the rest of the world, though probably not Dubai...) are totally useless. All you can do is take a look at *normal* weather based on historical climatological data and then be prepared for it to be wetter, drier, warmer, colder, or any combination during your stay...
BTW pixfield, I note that your post about the monsoon period in Paris specifically referred to the *French* monsoon period. I have not personally experienced any such as I said, but I didn%26#39;t address the possibility, remote though it may be, of a monsoon of a different nationality (Indian?) somehow appearing in Paris... :-)
|||
It%26#39;s cold and mostly rainy. At least it was like that for us in mid-March 2006. Sure there can be dry but cold days, but we needed the umbrella more often than not so I was glad we brought the folding one from home.
What%26#39;s your budget for your lodging?
|||
Or warm (low to mid 60s) and mostly sunny and without a drop of rain as it was for us for a week in March 2003. Last year%26#39;s weather is not a predictor of this year%26#39;s weather....
|||
Hi birdseyes, as you can see you have wild swings in March weather dependent on which year one visits. Everyone who is familiar with Paris does know that Paris%26#39;s weather is fickle, but I would advise you to bring clothing more suitable for winter (e.g. lined water resistant coat, layers, boots, gloves, and scarf) than for balmy summer days.
|||
thank you all for your advise, will be a little cold for us residents of the desert, but will quite like the change.
Does any of you know of any clean apartments around the city centre to house a family of 4. Under 100 euro pn pls.
I am also planning to take the children to EuroDisney for 2 days, will it worthwhile shuttling to and fro Paris or its easier to book a night at the hotels near EuroDisney ?
