Snowful Saturday

 

 

Snow in Paris is a rare and fleeting treat. As soon as we heard more was due Wednesday morning (it had snowed the night before), we were up and out early.

Evening, and the lit-up spire of Notre Dame Cathedral is like a beacon across the Seine.

Ducks on a quai

Ducks take a late afternoon dip along the quais of the river.

Les bouquinistes

Paris' reputedly testy bouquinistes get the best views across the river. A centuries-old tradition of selling used books and manuscripts along the quais continues uninterrupted.
