Answer 1

book it now

Answer 2

I would say, book it now.  I was in Paris over the weekend and there's always thousands of people all over the place. I stayed in the Ibis Hotel for 53 Euros a night, here's the website: http://www.ibishotel.com/gb/home/index.s...

Good luck.

Answer 3

Book now.

Instead of taking one opinion off Yahoo answers, why don't you check with someone reputable?  Check with a University near you to see what they recommend to their students - for study abroad trips, or just for vacationers.

Answer 4

book it as soon as possible

the faster and earlier you book it, the more time you have to shop around and find the best deals

the best thing to do is just search it in yahoo for hotels, restaurants, car rentals, and flights there and back

the sooner the flight is booked the cheaper it will be

booking hotels,flights, and car rentals together saves money

Answer 5

You want to book it pretty soon.  However, I learned something last month regarding booking hotels online.  We had three families travelling together to Paris in July.  I began searching online for an affordable hotel in May.  It seemed like I would never find one that could accommodate all of us.  But as it got later, like mid-June, things opened up and suddenly there were plenty of rooms.  There's a problem with people booking multiple rooms online, then cancelling the hotels they don't want at the last minute.  To guard against that, many hotels limit the number of rooms available online, until it gets closer to the arrival time.  So, the solution is-- if you find a place you like online, but it's booked, email them, or call them on the phone and try to speak with them in person.  It's an expensive phone call, but worth it.
