It's the king of the forest, but also the king of our living rooms in December: fir trees are gradually arriving in our homes, bringing with them the festive spirit of Christmas. But where can you find a quality Christmas tree in the Paris region? There are several options to choose from, depending on your means, your desires and your convictions!
The first places to visit to find a Christmas tree without too much effort are obviously florists, nurserymen, supermarkets and DIY stores, which offer trees of different sizes and varieties.
For the most eco-responsible purchase possible, choose local trees. Several farmers in the Paris basin supply garden centers and florists in the Île-de-France region. The French Natural Christmas Tree Association lists all the producers in the country, so you can find the one closest to you. The interactive map also allows you to filter the results according to the type of fir you want.
If you don't have the time to run to the stores, the Internet is always there to help you. The website of the Poitou-based grower Noël vert offers to deliver its made-in-France fir trees anywhere in mainland France, and on the date of your choice.
For those in the Paris region who don't have room for a big tree at home, the Mylittlesapin website offers a lovely alternative: natural spruces in pots, from 35 to 90 centimetres tall, straight from the Yonne region. The added bonus is that you can send the tree back after the holidays for replanting.
Finally, if these natural options don't suit you or your interior, you can opt for an artificial tree, sold in supermarkets and garden centers.
