May 8th?

We are going to be in Paris on May 8th, which I realize is a holiday. Will everything be closed?

Dear Lindze921,

Sorry, I don%26#39;t what holiday is on May 8. Can you please advise? I%26#39;ve been in Paris on holidays such as Easter Sunday, and certainly restaurants and cafes were open. Why don%26#39;t you post another question, and be more specific in the title, so that others with better information regarding the particular holiday you have in mind can help you.

Bonne chance!

It is Victory in Europe or VE day. There might be stores and cafes closed. My grocery store is only open until 1pm. You shouldn%26#39;t run into much trouble unless you were really wanting to visit the sewers, that is closed. Rest of monuments and most museums are open. St. Michel fountain should have some flowers and celebrations.

Don%26#39;t forget the May 8th parade

We were there two years ago on VE day and they lit the Eiffel tower in Blue. It was awesome.
