May Day

If you want to see the insides of buildings in France, don't visit on May Day - that is Labor Day here. We learned this as we were about to arrive.

Think now, what that means? What sort of things are open on Labor Day in the U.S.?

Not much.

All shops are closed on May 1. So are all museums... And of course the Louvre was among them. That made me sad. There was, however, a lot of things to see in Paris that were still open. Mainly churches.

We did find though, that because of the holiday, traffic was a lot ligher.

Every situation has its benefits.
