Winter in Paris



Winter in Paris...one word: COLD. Okay, two words: COLD AND RAINY. However, worth every minute! Paris has always been on my bucket list and I finally had the chance to go. It was quite difficult leaving sunny and warm Los Angeles where it was 75 degrees, to go to cold and rainy Paris, where the high was about 40 degrees every day. I will say though, it was nice to experience an actual winter! I'm so happy I got a chance to finally visit Paris and see the Eiffel Tower with my own eyes.
 
Champs-Elysees 
 

 Versailles
One of two non rainy days of my trip. How beautiful is this place!

Headpiece is from Target. Kept my head so warm!

 Armenian Khachkar inside the Louvre. So proud to have seen this! (I'm Armenian)
 

Chateau de Pierrefonds
 This looked exactly like the Beauty and the Beast castle. It was one of the most magnificent things I have ever seen.

Don't be fooled by the blue sky. It was FREEZING.

Moet and Chandon
We drove to Champagne to take a tour of the facility and have champagne tastings. Couldn't decide which one I liked more! Both please!

Eiffel Tower
My favorite crepe was at a cart right outside the Eiffel Tower next to the carousel. Banana Nutella crepe for the win!

 Galleries Lafayette Shops
How pretty is this! It was super crowded but worth going to.

I think my next Paris trip (if I'm that lucky) will have to be in the spring or summer. I'd like to experience Paris at a time when I don't have to wear a million layers and look so puffy!
