Especially in this season (around June 8th), where the weather
is usually the best (for tourism, not necessarly for astronomy),
and airline tickets are not yet at the peak (the peak prices usually
start after the 2nd half of June).
I'll be close to Paris, at the Paris South Orsay University
( http://www.u-psud.fr ), and we'll have many scopes set-up for
the event.
If you come to France, I guess one of the best spot might be
the Paris Observatory (building of the late 1600's)
http://www.obspm.fr just close to the "quartier latin". Arts,
history, good food, and (day-time) astronomy, sounds like a good
vacation plan !
A list of sites in Europe participating to the event will likely
be available trough the ESO:
