The weekend of January 18-20 will go down as one of the biggest snowfalls in Paris in recent memory. I walked through the Parc des Buttes Chaumont today (Sunday, January 20, 2013) and came away with these mementos.

Fun, fabulous photos!
Hi Paul , the parc looks absolutely fab …Love the third photo with the bridge high up
thanks for sharing .
What wonderfully fun photos!
… and apologies for posting three times now!
Fantastic! How lovely to see “my” park blanketed under snow! And the sledders at the end — too fun. Bet they had cold rear ends, lol. I love the one of the belvedère clothed in white. Really nice. I’m so glad you went out to take these. It’s a rather unique event for Paris and the park to see so much snow. I don’t think I have ever seen pics of the Parc des BC with snow like this. Nice!
Gorgeous!
As usual…another lovely post…
Your photos are great and fun
looking ones. Mil gracias Paul!

Thank you for the visit, Maria! I’m working on a flash fiction post I hope to have up this week or early next week!
See you in the streets,
Paris Paul
You guys really do live in a beautiful city…… I wish I was back there again, wandering the streets and alleys of that magnificent testament to human beauty.
Let me know when you’re back in town…we’ll do it up right!
See you in the streets,
Paris Paul
I love this park. Took a stroll in it on New Years Day and there were flowers blooming—in January. Then the snow came. Looks even more majestic under a dusting. Beautiful.
Thank you! I really appreciate it as well, and not just because I’ve been living down the street from it for 10 years! It has a jean jacket, lived-in vibe that I really like.
Thanks for the compliments and see you in the streets!

Stunning! My wanderlust suddenly wants the smell of a fresh snowfall rather than the dusty heat of the Caribbean…
Hi Loca Gringa!
Well, I hate to be the one to tell you that the fresh snowfall is a thing of the past, and spring has finally arrived in Paris! Cela dit, the “dusty heat of the Caribbean” sounds tempting as well. Trade for a coupe hours?
See you in the streets,
Paris Paul
If only we could swap at the snap of our fingers … they are both tempting. Mais la vie continue!
