In winter, it's not just snow and skiing that count! It's the ideal season to take the time, take a walk, open the door to an art studio, go see a show, paint a painting... As you will have understood, there is no shortage of ideas. We have listed the activities that we think are the most fun to do, when the snow is falling or simply if you want to brave the cold to get out of your little cocoon.
Go out, go see a concert or a show!
