A few days ago, Paris had a rare snowstorm. Blanketed with snowflakes, the City of Lights turned into a muffled, dazzling landscape.
The Eiffel Tower, laced in ice, closed because of the treacherous weather. Meteo-France, the national weather agency, issued a winter-weather advisory. Slippery streets, power failure, phone outages. Quelle horreur.
But Paris being Paris, it didn’t let a little dusting of a couple of inches of snow stop her glamour. Mais oui. She wore it like a gown.
