Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWill this fall, a month or two after the Olympics, be a good time to visit Paris?
I have been wanting to visit both Giverny and Versailles for their gardens with my daughter for a long time but never could get it worked out. I am wondering if very soon after the Olympics there might be better air fare/hotel fees. I was thinking of early September.

Versailles in September- the gardens were starting to wane a bit- Giverny in May was lovely.

(3,898 posts)we're there, but we opted for the private car, pick up and drop off at our hotel, versus taking the train. Is your husband mobil enough to walk around a bit?

(16,723 posts)Almost all (if not all) the trees around were still green. And there were flowers in the one part of a garden we walked through.
We mostly had partly to fully sunny weather.
