You know it's cold in Paris when ... there are only hundreds of people walking in the Tuileries, not thousands.

You know it's cold in Paris when ... no one wants to drive up the Champs Elysées in an open sports car.

You know it's cold in Paris when ... there is room to walk on the Champs Elysées without getting jostled.

You know it's cold in Paris when ...  the locals are queueing to get into a movie theatre. 

You know it's cold in Paris when ... NO-ONE is sitting on the top of the sightseeing bus.
