🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Conditions: Expect mild spring temperatures between +16°C and +20°C. May is beautiful but fickle; a sunny morning can turn into a quick shower by 3 PM. Dress Code: The "Parisian Layering" is key. Wear a light trench coat or a stylish waterproof jacket over a sweater. Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable for the cobblestones of Montmartre and the Latin Quarter. Logistics Note: With sunset around 21:20, you have incredible "blue hour" light for photos. Keep a small umbrella or a compact raincoat in your bag for those sudden May drizzles.

🍽 Where to eat
- Boulangerie Alexine (40 Rue Lepic) — Famous for its award-winning baguettes. Perfect for a budget-friendly lunch sandwich.
- Crêperie Brocéliande (15 Rue des Trois Frères) — Authentic Breton galettes. According to reviews, their salted caramel crepe is a signature hit.
🎁 Souvenirs
- Place du Tertre Artists: Instead of a mass-produced magnet, get a quick charcoal sketch or a small watercolor from a local artist.
- Avoid the tourist-trap restaurants directly on Place du Tertre. Walk just two streets away to Rue des Abbesses for better prices and local vibes.
