Although august is a great time for spending your summer vacation in Paris, it can be a tad problematic. Many people in Paris get the month of August off which means that you may find some shops closed. But still, attractions are usually open and it is in fact, a bit quieter than the rest of the year.
Actually, the South of France tends to be quite packed this time, as many northerners head to the blue beaches. There is a festive, summer-vacation spirit there with many festivals. Depending on your destination, check the weather and other modalities like airfare and lodging etc and have loads of fun!
