It rains heavily but infrequently mostly in March/April and October/November. In winter, freezing temperatures are rare, but sweaters are advised.

Opening hours
Shops are usually open from 9 am to 7 pm from Monday to Saturday. Department stores may stay open until 9 pm. Banks are open from 8.30 to 12 noon and 2 to 4.30 pm, Monday to Friday, with some branches opening on Saturday mornings.

On legal holidays, banks, government offices, shops, the majority of businesses and also many museums and tourist attractions are closed.

Money/currency
Credit cards are accepted in many shops, hotels and restaurants (there is usually a minimum amount of between €7 and €15). For cash, you will find cash-points on just about every street corner (24 hours a day). Bank branches, exchange bureaux and some post offices handle currency exchange transactions and traveller's cheques. Whatever you are buying, listed prices include all taxes.

A few tips for a pleasant trouble-free holiday
� You are strongly recommended to respect smoking/no smoking signs in public places.
� It is always useful to have a little cash on you at all times for little out-of-pocket expenses like taxi fares to the airport, drinks, etc.
� A service charge is included in the price of each item on the menu in any cafe or restaurant as required by French law. In theory, no further tipping is expected. However, it is pretty common to leave something after a bite to eat or drink. But it's never expected and is only given for good or attentive service, or at a place you habituate frequently. Extra generosity will never hurt.
� If you are driving, park only where authorised and respect speed limits on highways and motorways.
