Ha! Paris is great even when it rains, or so they say. And I mostly agree but I find when its pouring I need to be more specific in my 'flaneuring' ;) - can there be such a thing you may ask? well I think so. I pick certain districts, and wander, umbrella up, puddle jumping et al ... but I usually have in mind any number of welcoming places to retreat to for coffee, a drink, or a meal, even when alone. Then sometimes it can be so torrential that I just need to take cover immediately and as I drag my umbrella into some establishment a river forms on their floor. I've never let weather, bad weather that is, stop my enjoyment in Paris. I'm not in Paris today but colleagues have told me how wet it is right now ... the usual April 'showers' ha!
Thanks for your inspiring posts. Reminds me of my first time in Paris -- very very cloudy, but it never really rained. Just drizzled a lot. Nonetheless, I loved it. It was April, by chance. Thanks!
My favorite Dorothy Parker comment, “I like to drink a martini, two at the very most. After three, I’m under the table. After four, I’m under my host.” The martini rule of life….
What an interesting connection of characters. Oh no:(( I will be there from next Monday for 6 nights. Not really planned as I am on the way to Lausanne. Looks like I need to rug up.
