la Neige à Paris - Palais Royal/Musée du Louvre Métro


The white stuff is flying in Paris according to my Paris amis as well as our dear Genie from Paris  and Beyond.  As she and I chatted on Saturday evening,  it brought back wonderful memories of that magical snowfall last January.  That first morning in Paris, Mary and I walked through the Palais Royal gardens on our way to the métro.  This particular stop is one of my favorites.  As I descended the steps, I took two quick shots of the marvelous Kiosque des Noctambules by Jean-Michel Othaniel.  If you look closely you can see the snowcapped glass balls and tree branches.  la neige á Paris est magique!
