The Magic of Christmas in Paris: An Unforgettable Fairytale

When December rolls around, Paris, the capital of wonders, is decked out in lights to create an enchanting spectacle worthy of the most beautiful fairytales. Rightly nicknamed the City of Light, it shines with particular brilliance during the festive season. With its enchanting illuminations, picturesque Christmas markets, sumptuously decorated shop windows and glittering ice rinks, the French capital becomes an ode to the joy and magic of Christmas.

Sublime illuminations make Paris shine

In the run-up to the festive season, the streets of Paris are decked out to dazzle visitors. The Champs-Élysées, adorned with sparkling garlands, is transformed into an almost unreal alley of light, captivating every eye. The majestic Place Vendôme, with its elegant decorations, adds a touch of opulence and refinement to this exceptional setting.


Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, meanwhile, offer a more intimate setting, where the poetry of Christmas blends with the timeless charm of cobbled streets.

Christmas Markets: An Enchantment for the Senses

Parisian Christmas markets embody the very essence of the festive season, combining tradition, conviviality and gourmet delights. The La Défense market, the largest of them all, is a veritable Ali Baba's cave of wooden chalets and craft stalls displaying an array of wonders.

In the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, the more confidential market exudes a warm, authentic atmosphere. Montmartre, meanwhile, is enchanting with its bohemian spirit and unique creations, veritable craft treasures.

This winter, the City's Christmas Village takes up residence on Place de la Concorde until 5 January 2025.

Every year, Parisian department stores such as Printemps Haussmann and Galeries Lafayette are transformed into veritable showcases of poetry. Their animated window displays, veritable masterpieces of art and storytelling, transport passers-by into enchanted worlds where automata and magical scenes come to life.
