How To Survive Yet Another Day of Pouring Rain & Cold Weather

A How-To Manual by Rachel, brave survivor of all things downpour these past few months weeks days:

Step One: Go see the unicorn tapestries.

Add a bit more medieval art in while you're at it:

NARWHAL TUSK!!1!!1!111one

Step Two: Descend into the catacombs.

Random sculptures at the beginning with no explanation so I am assuming the guys building the catacombs just got really bored and/or wanted to have something other than bones to look at.

Step Two-point-five: Panic about how far underground you just descended. Breathe slowly and suck it up.

The weirdest...

Step Three: Unwind in an Alice in Wonderland-themed café with a slice of their famous lemon meringue pie, rhubarb and violet tea, and your weird futuristic French novel.

:)

Step Four: Reminisce about that one rare Saturday it was actually sunny and warm outside and you went on the Promenade Plantée (highline), saw Paris from the rooftop level, and snacked on the most delicious orange blossom, glazed madeleines.

Going up...

Gardens next to the rooftops!

Covert bench snacktime.

Step Five: Realize that it might've been the one and only nice springtime day that you'll get before you leave in three weeks(!). Shrug, put on your wellies, and open up your umbrella.
