Hi everyone,
I own a Panerai, Breitling Navitimers, a Tag and several other watches but I'm now focused on a Professional Rolex. May be my next one will be a 16570 with black dial or the new Explorer 214170.
I'm reading this forum to find more information about Rolex watches in general and I find it interested, that's why I decided to sign in here.

Regards.
Mathias.

Why is it best to visit when the Parisians are on vacation?

For the rest of France (what we call "Province") Parisians are known to be stressed, rude and bad-tempered. At the end of July and during August, the city empties because Parisians leave the city for vacation. All people becomes less stressed and slows down. All touristical places, museums and even the subway which are particularly crowded the rest of the year, become easier to visit. In the opposite, a lot of restaurants, all theaters, the opera, nightclubs and some stores are closed during this time. So if you plan to visit Paris during August this is a very special period.

Bon jour! Paris is my favorite city in the world - but, to be fair, my wife and I honeymooned there so my memories are sweet. Welcome to TRF.
