We've found November or March to be the best times for most places in Europe.  Weather is decent, fewer crowds, more reasonable costs.

We've gone there for the past three years in May, and it's been nice.  I've noticed that the prices go up in June, and that's when the weather starts to get hot too.  Remember that their version of air conditioning is not the same as ours; just a light breeze over there!  Prices are really low during the winter, if you like that kind of weather.

If you keep away all holidays, especially school ones, you should be fine.  January and February are usually good for prices.

Agree about Europe in early May.  Niece and I travelled  as soon as her college was out (May 10) and prices were still cheap and the weather was just about perfect.  Also agree with the A/C comment - it's also one of the comments I've heard a few times on House Hunters International shows.

The cheapest time hands down is late fall or before spring. The air fares go up markedly as soon as April/May hits and don't decline until October/November.
