We had one full day in Paris in winter. Tempting as it would have been to load an agenda furiously full, we went unscripted.

January had washed Paris in a misty sepia. We set out on the relatively short walk from our Trocadero hotel toward the Eiffel Tower, inhaling the city and saying very little.

 

 

 

As we ascended the Tower, the patina of Paris in winter further softened.

It lay before us like a painting, shrouded, mysterious, subdued.

Along the Quai d’Orsay, the mood continued. Even the traffic noise felt suppressed.

Returning to the Trocadero, the evening had a golden glow.

This taste of Paris in winter was perfect. Our friend, Noel Morata, recently spent a perfect day in Paris, too. Check out his lovely springtime photos.

Tips for Trip Success

Book Your Flight
Find an inexpensive flight by using Kayak, a favorite of ours because it regularly returns less expensive flight options from a variety of airlines.

Book Your Hotel or Special Accommodation
We are big fans of Booking.com. We like their review system and photos. If we want to see more reviews and additional booking options, we go to Expedia.

You Need Travel Insurance!
Good travel insurance means having total peace of mind. Travel insurance protects you when your medical insurance often will not and better than what you get from your credit card. It will provide comprehensive coverage should you need medical treatment or return to the United States, compensation for trip interruption, baggage loss, and other situations.Find the Perfect Insurance Plan for Your Trip
