A chilly week in Paris


It's been a cold week. The highs in the low-30s and the lows in the 20s or colder. It's winter so that's fine. While it's freezing and painful to be outside for a long time, the sun was out a lot of the week which was a great opportunity to take a few wintry shots of Paris.



Here is a vacant Tuileries. In the fall, I would spend a lot of time here after French class but now even a brisk walk through the gardens leaves you begging for warmth. 





More shots of the empty Tuileries. In a few months these chairs will be taken and the place will be packed. 




Frozen fountains, bare tree-lined streets and last minute sunsets are common sights in my wintry Paris. 


Staying warm involves bundling up in sweaters, mittens, scarves and fur hats. It means eating a lot of soup and watching movies inside! It's been a nice time for proper hibernation. 

I hope wherever you are that you are staying warm and healthy in this winter season!

  1. Some lovely photos of one of my favourite places. Maybe we'll bump into each other when I'm power walking!
