Pick France 🇫🇷 if you're going in…

April, May, June, August, September, October

Many Parisians leave in August — some restaurants close, but the city feels calmer.

Pick Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 if you're going in…

January, February, March

If your dates are fixed, switch coasts to dodge the monsoon.

Months where both are equally good: July, November, December.
