March or April 2021?

We have sadly had to reschedule our trip that we were due to go on at the end of next month. This was meant to be a hen party for my friend, before she got married in June. Unfortunately her wedding has also now been cancelled, and rescheduled for next May 2021

The hotel we have booked is allowing us to amend our booking for a stay up until Dec 2021, with no extra cost if the dates we choose are higher thankfully, so I now just need to figure out when to go.

My friend is limited to dates and so we can either go 11-14th March, or 15th-18th April. I've checked and there's no bank holidays over either of those dates (like the one I hadn't realised we were there for on the 1st May!) and I think the April one means we would miss the Easter holidays.

I'm drawn more towards the April date as it might be slightly better weather then... does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Here are the French school holidays for Easter 2021. Your second set of dates will clash with the zone A holidays so it will be busier than your March dates, having said that it is zone C (around Paris) that has the biggest impact on DLP visitor numbers.

Spring Holidays (Zone A)* 11 Apr 2021 - 25 Apr 2021
Spring Holidays (Zone C)* 18 Apr 2021 - 2 May 2021
Spring Holidays (Zone B)* 25 Apr 2021 - 9 May 2021

The reason the holidays are listed to start on a Sunday is that in some schools they still get Weds afternoon off and go in on a Saturday morning, however for those schools in Zone C that don't open on Saturdays could mean higher visitor numbers that weekend.

Went in March 2 years ago and crowds were pretty manageable, would recommend
