August is normally a great vacation month, but in France (and especially in the north) it can be problematic. Most people get the month of August off in France, meaning you may find some shops are closed. Still, attractions are usually open and it can be a bit quieter than the rest of the year. There is a festive, summer-vacation spirit here, and there are many festivals. Find out about the typical weather, events and festivals, packing tips and more.
