Why is Christmas in Paris such a wonderful experience?
Paris embraces Christmas. Enthusiastically, endearingly and enchantingly the city dresses up in her festive splendor and welcomes visitors wholeheartedly. The City of Light lives up to her name with glittering and twinkling illuminations adorning streets and public buildings throughout the capital. The Champs Elysées, in particular, becomes a heart-lifting Christmas pageant in avenue form, with lights sparkling amidst her 200 trees and an inviting seasonal market housed in 160 wooden cabins along her length.
Families are well catered for, with plenty to keep all ages entertained. Carrousels spring up across the capital, there are family-oriented concerts and shows, and open air ice skating at locations such as Paris City Hall. Another great ice skating option is the Grand Palais des Glaces; a 1,800 square metre ice rink within the gorgeous Belle Epoque era surroundings of the Grand Palais.
Fans of fine cuisine delight in the fact that the city’s top restaurants produce their festive menus, and keen shoppers find an endless array of Christmas gift ideas to choose from. In particular, the Grands Magasins department stores pull out all the stops to create the most show stopping festive window displays imaginable.
Then, to soothe you after all that activity, there’s the tranquility of the beautiful churches of Paris and their nativity scenes to enjoy.
