 Poster: A snowHead
|
do the french have public hols over easter like we do and will this make the slopes very busy ?
I have found cheap flights with ryanair goign out on thurs before easter and coming back on tues. this is ideal for me as thurs is my day off, fri & mon are bank hols, so I only need to book tues off work and get 4 days skiing !!!
However if i spend all my break in queues it will nto be so good !!
any advice experience most welcomed

backhojo, it isn't usually that busy. They don't get Easter Monday like we do.

backhojo, as Helen said, it's not as busy as other school holidays so if it's your only option you should definietly do it. Make sure you have accommodation sorted before you book your flights. Non-standard accommodation over Easter is not widely available in some resorts.

backhojo, from my experience (the last 5 easters) I'd agree with the comments above - I don't think you'd find significant problems and those flights sound absolutely ideal. However I'd also strongly echo Rob's point about accommodation - because your dates would straddle 2 normal weeks there are obviously some places which would be very reluctant to do an Easter long weekend booking. If you find a good one, I'd snap it up immediately.

We DO get Easter Monday, but we DON'T get Good Friday. However, Paris school holidays coincide with Easter this year.

You know it makes sense.
|
altis, All their holidays are staggered except for August. 4 week period with Zones having different 2 weeks each year on a revolving basis - how sensible is that? You know right up to 2020 or further when your hols will be ...
