Paris has never looked so pretty in the rain

Visiting Paris without a few drops of rain is like staying in and forgetting to pick up a croissant.

We think it makes for interesting looks, that it pushes the romantic aspect a little further, and above all: that it's time to get your head around revolutionizing your activities.

For example, instead of having a picnic on Place des Vosges with a sandwich from Marché des Enfants Rouges, we discover the interior of Café du Commerce. With little drops of water echoing off the bay windows of the main hall, the experience is greatly enhanced.

And if it hadn't been for the weather, how would you have thought of visiting the most beautiful libraries? A little torrent: a good excuse to display Sainte-Geneviève, the Sorbonne or Mazarine...

Too wet to continue the epic? How about a movie break? Le Louxor for its style, Studio 28 for its program, but this time avoid the one at La Villette: it's in the open air.
