Il fait froid!

It is cold!

Although January and February can be frigid in Paris,

rarely does it stop the city, the Parisians, the tourists.

I have only seen snow twice in Paris, 

but the December 2010 snowstorm emptied the streets...

except for the crazy photographers and a few children.

Quai Voltaire - Pont du Carrousel

La Seine Quai de l'Hôtel-de-Ville

In the rain

The quai was almost deserted 

in the late afternoon rains.  

Ignore the weather and explore.

Dark Clouds

Parisians have not seen the dark storm clouds of rain in several weeks and there is a drought concern across France. Not wishing to rain on anyone's vacation but a few serious showers might improve the situation.
