I think if I wasn't there for Christmas, I'd want to be there in January- I really need a gallete de roi!<br /><br />Camille- Once you've had 40 something Australian summers you'd happily swap one for a French Christmas/winter! Where I live in Australia is one of the coldest areas- we get snow most years in town, as well as up on the mountain. We've already had our first snowfall of the year this year! So having the thrill of winter in Paris has a definite pull. When I was there last year it was late June/July- it was too crowded, and too too hot. Queues everywhere. I would really miss twice daily Berthillon though.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-63622217738310781212011-05-29T05:11:44.829+10:002011-05-29T05:11:44.829+10:00The weeks leading up to Chrismas are probably more...The weeks leading up to Chrismas are probably more fun than Christmas itself in Paris - it's all too true about the shops being closed, and while chocolat chaud may warm the bones, it can only do so much agains the frigid, gray cement all around you. But the lights and window displays are wonderful. I couldn't imagine leaving summer in Australia for winter in France, though! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-57197636770606702562011-05-28T14:04:43.172+10:002011-05-28T14:04:43.172+10:00I have been to Paris for many years during the fir...I have been to Paris for many years during the first/second week of December. While it is not quite Christmas, it is a thrilling and exciting time to be in the city. The lights and the windows are sufficient reason to get there...
