As Nanci Mancinelli sees it, August is a great time to visit Paris because most of the city's residents are off on their own vacations, but "many tourist attractions are still open. And, the restaurants are open, which is the most important thing." She notes that with fewer people around, "there are bargains to be found" on shopping, at hotels, and more. For better value on food, Mancinelli tells us to eat at local places, which travelers can find by asking our hotel clerks for their favorite eateries.(Photo: Nanci Mancinelli)Europe, Middle East Sale on Delta From $358 R/T*
