Just before Christmas is the ideal time for booking an apartment in Paris. Why? Because going Christmas shopping is a real treat! The numerous Christmas fairs, the Les grand magazins’ exuberantly decorated shopping windows, and the Christmas decorations in the streets all completely bring you in the Christmas mood!
Paris spares no expenses just before Christmas. From all kinds of different countries people come to Paris to do their Christmas shopping.
So what exactly are the must do’s when going to Paris around this time of year…A brief outline.
Les grandes magazins like Galeries la Fayette, La Samaritaine and Printemps Hausmann all luxuriantly decorated their shopping windows. In case you would want to do Christmas shopping, take a look over there. The picture was taken in La Fayette.
Avenue Mantaigne, Avenue des Camps-Elysées and Place Vendome (on the Rue de la Paix) have the most magnificent Christmas decorations. It definitely deserves a stroll!
The decorations are to be seen form the 24th of November up to the 1st of January 2008.
The Christmas fairs. They start from the first weekend in December and last up to the day before Christmas day.
To conclude here are two more tips for booking an avant Noël trip:
1. Book in advance, for Paris is very popular in December.
2. I won’t have to tell this to the experienced Christmas shopper, but just before Christmas it gets very crowded. My advice is to go early in December.
