An Aussie in Paris, December 1999.

Being in Paris in December was so cold for us warm blooded Aussies, however it is such a beautiful city it really did not matter. The food is an experience to die for, it more than makes up for the fairly unfriendly locals.

I am looking forward to my next trip which will be in Spring or Summer.

I am going to Paris in Dec. Again like many others, I am concerned about the weather in Dec, but I guess the weather in the winter is similar to Canada's weather, so I'll be ok, I hope. But I am still wondering if you can tell me specifically what the temperature was during that month? Thank you, its a great site, pictures are great and I cant wait till I see it all.

Paris In Winter
Hello From Canada! I think your pictures of Paris are fabulous! My husband and I are seriously considering going to Paris in December for our 5th Wedding Anniversary, but had wondered how cold it would be there.... I guess when it's Paris the weather doesn't matter, right? Thanks for sharing your lovely photographs!
