This year, why not spend Christmas in Paris, the most romantic city in the world? A short Xmas break in Paris means treating yourself and a loved one to twilight walks along the banks of the Seine, twinkling lights and open-air ice-skating outside the Hôtel de Ville.
Christmas in Paris
If shopping at home is a nightmare, Christmas shopping in Paris is a dream. Walk the Champs Elysées and shop at the ‘grands magasins’, explore the chic boutiques of the Marais or hunt for Christmas bargains in the St Ouen flea market at the Porte de Clignancourt.
And, if you get cold, dive into a bar for a cappuccino, or visit one of the many Christmas markets for some vin chaud.
Or, if that all gets too much, then relax with some culture in the Louvre, at the modern and funky Centre Pompidou or see the Rodin Museum’s sculpture garden glistening in the snow.
You’ll eat well in Paris – there are so many restaurants to choose from. Stroll the cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter for a cheap and cheerful bistro or look for something chic in smart St Germain, before moving on to the jazz clubs around the Bastille. A short Christmas break in Paris will give you a whole year’s worth of memories.
