To you who is showing Bordeaux to your cousin from Paris while it's raining cats and dogs, to you whose children wouldn't stay cozy under the covers, or to you who saw your walk along the docks turn into a downpour... Don't worry, to brighten up rainy days, Le Bonbon has put together a little list of the top places to take shelter! After all, as a wise person once said, "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain"...
