It's that time of year again! Christmas is early this year, as it is every year, and you're not ready? Wait, wait, let's rewind... In Paris, it all starts with the inauguration of the Christmas window displays in the Grands Magasins, animated and ever more enchanting tableaux for the delight of families. Another not-to-be-missed event is the illuminations of the capital's main streets, which sparkle with a thousand lights throughout the festive season.
Paris is transformed into an enchanting landscape where magic pours into hearts at every turn. The delicious, cinnamon-scented fragrance of traditional Christmas markets or Tea Times in Paris's beautiful palaces, the inspiring pop-ups for gift ideas popping up everywhere, or the sweet melody of the season's magical shows and concerts.
