A winter day in Paris is nothing short of a fairytale — cobbled streets glowing under twinkling lights, the aroma of roasted chestnuts drifting through historic boulevards, and festive markets filling every corner of the city with warmth and wonder. Paris transforms into the Christmas capital of Europe, where timeless elegance meets cozy holiday charm.
From the sparkling Champs-Élysées to the enchanting Tuileries Garden, from artisanal stalls by Notre-Dame to the creative village at La Défense, every Christmas market brings its own atmosphere, flavours, and festive surprises.
