Walking Paris in the Spring: Paris may be the ultimate walkable
city but once you leave your hotel keep a rain coat handy; light rain could
sweep in at any minute and sweep out again just as quickly.
No problem. With hundreds of coffee shops and restaurants and dozens of
museums to duck into while the showers pass, Paris is a walker's city in any
weather.
The boats that cruise the seine have covered seating and open air spaces for
photographing the bridges and buildings along the way. Buses stop at
covered stations where plaques and maps give good information making it
easy to navigate the city and visit many of the historic sites while keeping out
of the mist of a Paris spring.
In a Paris Rain there are
dozens of museums and
churches to duck into.

Hotel de Ville, The Musee
du Louvre, The Petit
Palace shown left, The

Orsay, and the Institut de
