Among the many Christmas markets in Paris, some are unmissable, such as the Christmas market of La Défense, the one at the Avenue des Champs Elysées or even at the Trocadéro. The Christmas market of La Défense is located on the forecourt of the Défense and is the biggest market of Paris, with more than 200 exhibitors every year. All through the aisles of those markets, your senses will be more alert than ever.

Not only will your eyes be amazed by the wonderful decorations, but your taste buds will also be satisfied. Indeed, you will be able to taste and buy French and foreign specialties thanks to exhibitors coming from all around the world. Whether it is thanks to the famous “vin chaud” (hot wine), the popular onion soup or a still unknown specialty, you will be enchanted to visit the Christmas villages.

 Christmas Lights

Paris, the city of lights, never wears its name better than during the festive season. From the Champs-Elysees to Montmartre through Place Vendome, you’ll be able to admire the sparkling magic offered by the capital city thanks to its illuminations and the great shop windows specially decorated for the occasion.

Each year, the Avenue des Champs-Elysées puts on a dazzling cloak unveiled during a great ceremony, and the decorations of the Galeries Lafayette or the Printemps Haussman are eagerly awaited at this time of the year. Bercy Village also lights up for your viewing pleasure.

Additionally, you can opt for an open-topped bus tour that will enable you to admire illuminated monuments through a definite route. So, you’ll have the opportunity to walk around the city’s streets and to be taken away by the enchantment that the site offers.
