Whilst Parisiens woke this morning to a new dusting of snow on the streets and chimney pots, we remain surrounded by a layer of white that covers the ground. It’s the most beautiful white ever as it keeps the house  full of non-stop giggles from children spending their day making snow angels or romping up the hills to speed back down on toboggans.

With the white is a cold, one that penetrates the warmest of coats and leaves toes and fingers frozen. The giggles, the pink cheeks and little fingers wrapped around sweet hot chocolates do their job and defrost everyone. Hope is that it isn’t about to end, with more cold and possible snow on the way for next week.

In the meantime, here are more photos of snow in Versailles along with some favourite places to visit if you are in the area:
