Watch the incredible moment Paris was rocked by an intense hailstorm.

Photographer Tatiana Palyga captured the rare and dramatic scene as heavy hail pelted the city streets for a solid five minutes.

Caught inside a flower shop with a group of tourists and locals, Tatiana documented the chaos as it unfolded.

The shopkeeper managed to rescue a few of the flowers left outside, but many were destroyed by the sudden storm.

Once the hailstorm passed, the streets were littered with shredded leaves and icy white hailstones.

\Tourists and residents alike were seen picking up the hail and snapping pictures of the surreal aftermath.
