Would you visit Paris during winter?

Have you ever been to Paris during the autumn or winter? Last Christmas Giao and her husband went for a trip to The City of Light and despite the off-season timing they had so much fun that now I am daydreaming about Paris all frosty and white. The image of snow-dusted strolls or bellies full of chocolate mousse makes me swoon but if I didn’t convince you well enough, here are six more of Giao’s awesome reasons for going there during the winter but especially during Christmas time.
* cold weather is a perfect excuse for cafe hopping (and we love moody cafés, don't we?).
* it’s always less crowded so you can take your time strolling through Le Jardin des Tuileries or around Eiffel Tower without letting go of your husband’s warm hand.
* jet-leg won’t be an issue since the chilly Parisian air serves as an antidote.
* lines for macarons will definitely be shorter – that is a fact!
* you can use the secret shortcut (the passageway to Rue de Rivoli) to enter the Louvre. (Fancy!)
* and  you can book a flat or a hotel last minute and totally spontaneous without overpaying. And not to mention flights will be cheaper too.

Now tell me, do you fancy Christmas in Paris? Or not so much? Do you ever travel during the cooler seasons? Would you ever consider spending Christmas abroad just with your husband? I am totally itching for a Chrismas adventure now:) xo

P.S: Here are a few great tips on off-season travelling.
P.P.S: Travelling solo?
