The great thing about Paris is that it’s close to London. The downside is that the weather will be just as unpredictable.\u00a0Sure, Paris is always a good idea. But do you still think so\u00a0when you’re walking around the city in the pouring rain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of weeks ago, when I started planning my trip, the weather was gorgeous. No rain and lots of sunshine. How lovely would it be to be walking around Paris right\u00a0now, I thought. And so I got tickets for\u00a0the Eurostar<\/a>, found a nice hotel (Le 5 Codet<\/a>) and was ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then it started raining. Not just a little bit of rain, as in ‘my little folding umbrella will keep me dry’. No, more like a tropical storm. Without the wind and high temperatures. So not really tropical nor a storm… But let’s just say it was very, very wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So much for my plan to be walking around Paris, sitting outside one of those charming caf\u00e9s with my coffee and croissant, and making a video of\u00a0all the pretty places I would visit. Oh well, shit<\/del> rain happens. Plan B it is. I borrowed a larger size umbrella from the hotel, took the metro instead of walking, had my coffee indoors… And made a video of Paris in the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
