Paris and Rome
The verdict for November

Quietest and best value
+The emptiest month of the year, at the lowest rates.
–Grey, wet and dark by late afternoon.
Everything is bookable, and nothing feels crowded.

Quieter and better value
+Noticeably quieter with better value than the peak season.
–Cooler temperatures and a higher chance of rain.
Museums, long lunches and Rome without the crush.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
