Summary

Short answer: yes. Paris is worth visiting in the winter months.

In this episode, Oliver and Lina explain why, based on their combined 22 winters in Paris.

Mentioned in this episode:

Ice Skating at the Grand Palais
A chat with Chef Tony Xu from Shang Palace (see our video here)
The Petit Palais museum

At the end you'll hear from Marie Segura from My Private Paris talking about the Phantom of the Opera and at the Palais Garnier, which is incidentally a lovely way to while away a winter day.
