There was a slightly magical atmosphere this Thursday, November 21 in Paris. The island of France as well as the heart of the capital found themselves under snowflakes.
Locals and passing tourists did not fail to immortalize this moment.
The Caetano storm “will cross France from west to east and cause an early and sufficiently notable winter episode to make traffic conditions difficult in the regions concerned”, indicates Météo-France on its website.
Large flakes are falling this Thursday, particularly in the Paris region, but these early snow episodes have become increasingly rare due to global warming.
It is this rarity that prompted many passers-by to immortalize this moment. Parisian gardens and parks were also quickly covered in snow.
The Palace of Versailles under a white coat
The emblematic Palace of Versailles was quickly covered in snow and more particularly its essential gardens designed by Le Nôtre.
Transport must be organized
Although the atmosphere is magical and resembles a Christmas movie, you still have to organize yourself to succeed in maintaining a service, particularly in transport.
The teams at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport are mobilized to ensure snow removal from access points and de-icing of aircraft for optimal safety at Ile-de-France airports.
PSG players trained in the snow
A bit of a special training session this Thursday morning for PSG players.
