August in Paris…for some it’s a dream with fewer crowds, no traffic jams and warm weather. For others who are searching for a good place to eat, it can be a nightmare.
Many of Paris’s restaurants and small shops close for at least two weeks in August, some for the entire month. Parisians flock to the coasts for vacation, leaving the city to the tourists and to those Parisians who choose to take their vacation at another time of the year.
There are, however, some restaurants that will remain open during the month of August. Here is a list of some of them. It is always best to call or fax the restaurant before you show up, to be sure it is open and to make a reservation.
