Meredith Mullins: The Art of Cloud Watching

It’s June in Paris. And, as they say, “If you don’t like the Paris weather, wait five minutes.” 

We’ve had rain delays at Roland Garros, gusty winds that blow our umbrellas outside in, and surprise downpours that drench our clothes to the core (or send us to huddle under the closest café awning in the hope that’s it’s just a quick passing cloud).

Is there a silver lining to this month of unpredictable weather? Mais oui. The amazing clouds that are floating above us. 

Ever since I became a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society (literally and metaphorically), I stop on a bridge every time I cross the Seine to look up at the clouds (or in an open space in any country for that matter).

 The sky is an endless canvas. The shapes, the light, the color—all inspire flights of imagination, just as they did when we were kids.

As the founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society says, “Cloudwatching legitimizes doing nothing.”

And that, combined with imaginative daydreaming, is good for the soul. 

For more on cloud watching, take a look at Meredith’s story at OIC Moments.

I am renting my Marais loft from August 16 to August 29 (Dates are flexible). Contrary to popular myth that Paris is closed in August, most shops, restaurants, and attractions are open in Paris, especially in the Marais. The weather is usually beautiful, temperatures in the high 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit during the day, dropping into the mid 60s at night. In case in gets warmer, I have an air conditioner in the bedroom and a large fan in the living area. 

Minimum rental period is 7 days/one week, price 1500€ for 7 days/one week, 2900€ for 14 days/2 weeks.
