What you'll do

You could meander through rows of wooden chalets at the Magic of Christmas Market, and stock up on all things French and festive – from decorations to crafts to roasted chestnuts. Warm up with a mug of vin chaud, a Christmas staple of warm red wine mixed with sugar, orange, and fragrant spices, then walk the length of the iconic Champs-Élysées. See the fairy light-flanked Arc de Triomphe and stroll the busy avenue with locals doing last-minute Christmas shopping at the ultra-chic boutiques. Stop in at an oh-so Parisian pâtisserie for a seasonal treat of gingerbread or a slice from a flawless Bûche de Noël (Yule log), and let your local insider lead you to the perfect Eiffel Tower viewpoint on the Champ de Mars.

Where you’ll go

For a storybook Christmas complete with twinkling lights, wood-built holiday markets, and chestnuts roasting on an open fire, look no further than Paris’s 8th arrondissement. With your local host leading the way, you’ll explore the city’s most festive neighborhoods at its most magical time of the year. At Tuileries Garden on the Right Bank, you could shop for gifts at the Magic of Christmas market before strolling west in the glow of thousands of Christmas lights down the Champs-Élysées. Treat yourself to a classic Bûche de Noël, admire intricate department store displays, and cross the Seine towards the Champ de Mars, where locals skate by at the Eiffel on Ice Christmas Village, and the Eiffel Tower sparkles with its iconic lights.
