I Love Paris

Paris in December is a true experience. Strolling along the Champs-Elysees takes on a whole new meaning. Holiday lights sparkle along the streets, the buildings, and even the monuments, and along the avenue, they dazzle from within the trees. One thousand fir trees, freshly cut, go up around town.

Window shopping becomes a brand new experience as well — you can join the Parisians in this favorite past time, going from one window display to the next, each one wilder and more inventive than the one before it.

There are plenty of ice skating rinks as well — including one on the Eiffel Tower’s first level, a stunning two hundred feet up in the air.

There are Christmas carousels, Christmas Eve dinners, the arrival of Father Christmas — and so much more.
