Paris in the Winter

Some people wonder why you would spend time in Paris during the Winter months. Well, for one thing, there are certainly less tourists. There are hardly any lines (queues) at museums, art events nor at the usual touristy locations. Secondly, in the past several years the temperatures have been much higher in Paris than certainly New York or Chicago. We saw snow only once and it was gone by the afternoon. This is a perfect time of the year to get to know your arrondissement and its specialties.
