Saint Germain en Laye – a ‘pop-up’ snow resort west of Paris

On a plateau west of Paris, sits Saint Germain en Laye. With commanding views back towards the capital, the grounds of the Chateau are great for catching the morning sunrise on a clear day.  These days however, along with so much of the region, it looks more like a winter sports resort. And, a beautiful one at that.

For more snow photos:

Benoit Rousseau has some wonderful images in his gallery ‘Paris & Saint Germain‘.

Carla Loves Photography took a stroll around Paris and found an exquisite red Citroen perfectly parked in front of a cafe.

Vicky Archer of French Essence has shared some equally divine photos of the snow fall in London.

Interested in seeing how Versailles looks under snow? The Chateau du Versailles has posted an album on their Facebook page.

Even more snow photos can be found in the archives here.

      Krista,
      It was so lovely. I could have easily stayed all day taking photos. :)

      Now, if only there were a way for you and Lynne to split your time between Paris & Canada. I’ll vote for whatever it takes. :) xx

    I think I commented on facebook, but I just have to tell you how much I adore your photos, and these winter shots with the splashes of color are just the best!

      Karene, thanks for the lovely feedback…and the editing. :) Unfortunately, we needed to be somewhere or I would have happily stayed in Saint Germain en Laye taking many more photos like these. Next time snow arrives, I plan on having an empty agenda.
