Snow in Paris


Yes, it does snow in Paris. There's no better time to be here - if you're a photographer, but don't even think about getting in or out of town - especially in a taxi. My heart really went out to whomever hired the cab that was just in front of us, stuck in traffic on the 'periphe'.

Normally it takes just under two hours to drive out to Normandy. Yesterday (Thursday, Dec 17th, it took us three hours to drive from Montparnasse to Vaucresson (which is almost at Versailles). If you can make it to Versailles, you're home free. From that point on, it was smooth sailing and bright sunshine as soon as we passed from Ile de France into Normandy - am I starting to sound 'chauvin'when it comes to La Belle Normandie?

The photo here was taken actually almost a year ago when it also snowed in Paris during the month of February (still in 2009). This was supposed to be my Christmas card this year, but procrastination won out. Merry Christmas to my beloved blogreader!
