Snow In Paris

Snow - yes - that white stuff - is very rare in Paris. Therefore, no wonder the Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport was shut down on Monday!

"1,658 people will be accommodated by Air France Monday evening in hotels at the airport hub at Roissy after the cancellation of 120 Air France flights of the 400 scheduled since the beginning of Monday afternoon, mainly to European destinations but also some long haul services," the airline said.

Traffic was back on track Tuesday, but the website Aeroports de Paris www.adp.fr was not discounting future disruptions but advised checking with the individual airline company.

Other disruptions including traffic/truck access in and out of Paris as well. Low, cold temperatures are forecast through the week. Check this site for official weather info: www.meteo.fr
