Renting snowshoes in Paris is the easy way to enjoy a true winter experience without having to worry about equipment. If you're staying in the capital, you can prepare a white interlude for a day or a weekend, and leave equipped as soon as you get off the train or out of the car.

Weather-wise, Paris experiences cold winters with occasional snowfalls, especially between January and February. When the flakes hold, the forests of Fontainebleau, Rambouillet and the Vexin become enchanted. The best time to go out is early in the morning, just after a fall, before the thaw. Check the weather and ground conditions, stay on the main paths and respect the protected areas, as some paths may be closed.
