globetrotting with Cecile: Day 33 : Il a neigé à Paris = Winter Wonderland!

Bonjour mes amis!

I am thrilled to say winter has finally arrived here in Paris! Oui, I woke up this morning and discovered to my delight that it had actually snowed last night--and by snow, I do not mean flurries, but proper snow indeed!

Okay, for all of my midwestern friends, you'll probably think my pictures below might look a little pathetic--compared to our good ol' fashion blizzards at home, this would be classified as merely a "dusting." Nonetheless, by European standards, even a few inches managed to cause chaos in London this weekend and pretty much convinced everyone in Paris to stay inside--all the streets were practically empty! To mark this joyous event (and staying true to my midwestern roots :-p), I decided to spend my Sunday afternoon frolicking around my neighborhood and capturing my little snow globe of Paris before it all melted...

I present to you my black-and-white artsy interpretation of "Winter in Paris"... enjoy!
