I always tell people Paris is one of the most magical cities in the world, especially during the winter holiday season. One of the many questions I receive about Paris in the winter is, does it snow in Paris? The short answer is yes, it snows in Paris! On average, it snows 15 days a year, but most of the time it’s not more than a small dust and barely noticeable. When the snow does stick, Paris is truly magical in the snow. Take a look at 26 incredible photos of Paris covered in snow!

Final Thoughts on Snow in Paris

As you can see from the photos, Paris is truly magical when it snows. I love Paris during the wintertime, there are so many things to do and see while it being relatively free from tourist. Don't forget to pack your snow shoes if you go visiting during this time! Keep it in mind, the snow doesn't stick on the ground in Paris every year but when it does, it's incredible and so much fun!

Sincerely Petite in Paris, Diane
