The Arc de Triomphe, even more statuesque and noble. (Now that I think of it, how insane is it that this is what I see when I get out of the Metro??)
That certain festivity in the air, with everyone rushing about trying to stay warm and dry.
Oui, it was a winter wonderland. Until it turned to nasty urban slush. And I fell. And my commute took me an hour to get across town on the Metro. Otherwise, it was wonderful.
Whoa, that's REAL snow right there. I've never been in Paris when it's been like that. It looks lovely. I'm sorry you fell. I slipped so many times on the icy streets of Geneva and people would just stare at me! Grrr!!
ReplyDeleteYou fell ? ! oh no ... I have never been to Paris in serious winter weather, somehow I know I will love it anyway .
ReplyDeleteIt is very pleasant, looking at cold snowy photos, while I have the a/c on :)
The snow here is indeed magical! I just read your guest post over at Hip Paris, and must congratulate you, my dear. You write beautifully and I loved the article! :) Paris in Pink
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty lovely to me. I just left Paris yesterday and missed the storm. I wish I was there ... slush and all.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures. I have been to Paris three times in the last four years, always in October. And always pretty much the same weather. Next time it's going to be Christmas season. Your pictures have sold me!

it looks beautiful, but those poor people who had to sleep in their cars or got stranded elsewhere....your fall could have been very nasty, glad you are allright!
ReplyDeleteOh no :( I saw people falling all around me! I, instead, was pelted with a rock hard snowball by some silly adolescents. No one knows how to handle the snow!
ReplyDeleteThat is SOOOOOOO beautiful!:)
ReplyDeleteOh how I hope that it'll snow on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day when I'm in Paris!:)
How much time do you have left in Paname, Amy? Three weeks now?:(
It was almost worth all the mess yesterday to see the sun on the glittering snow today.

P.S. Sorry about your fall!
How magical! Paris looks so stunningly beautiful, no matter what season! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteGod, I MISS Paris - and I love it, even in the snow ... I want to see that previous post of yours (I've missed quite a few) - it's stopping me in my tracks, too!
ReplyDeleteParis in the winter is wonderful. Thanks for the pictures. Regards from Hotels Paris
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all enjoyed the photos. It really was gorgeous. But also disastrous! We'll see how much more it snows in Paris while I'm here... I have four prime snow weeks ahead of me!
ReplyDeleteAw - I don't think I've ever seen the snow in Paris (despite living there several years ago from January to June). It looks so beautiful!
