Paris was covered in snow a few days ago (alas only two or three inches) and it looked so clean! Joseph had a stomach bug the day it fell but we still enjoyed a brief stomp through the snow. He wanted to build a snowman but quickly understood that the snow wasn’t very plentiful or sticky enough. He was also eager to make snow angels, something I might have considered in the park but certainly not on the sidewalk.
On one of those snowy days Dan and I visited Cite de l’architecture at Place du Trocadero, near the Eiffel Tower. It’s a lovely museum demonstrating French architecture from the 12th century to the present. I only knew of it because I’d read in a magazine that Valentino held a fashion show there last spring.
The photos here will give you an idea of the space:

But here is my favorite sculpture of all we encountered.
