Christmas in Paris. Thoughts?

My friend and I are planning a 2 week trip to Europe at the end of this year and her only request was that we be in Paris during Christmas like specifically 23rd-26th or so.

What are your thoughts on this? Will everything be closed or shut down? Will we not really be able to enjoy Paris? Or will it be fine?

Visiting Paris during Christmas can be a magical experience! Despite some closures, many attractions remain open, including iconic sights like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame. You can stroll along the Champs-Élysées, where the holiday lights create a stunning backdrop, and enjoy festive markets full of delicious treats. Don’t miss the chance to indulge in traditional French Christmas pastries, such as 'bûche de Noël' (Yule log). While transportation options may be limited on Christmas Day, public transit typically runs on reduced schedules, so planning ahead is key. It's advisable to check specific opening times for museums and restaurants in advance. Paris also offers various performances and special events during the holiday season, from ballets to concerts, ensuring that your itinerary is filled with festive joy. Overall, with the right planning, experiencing Christmas in Paris from December 23rd-26th can turn out to be an unforgettable adventure!

You should be able to enjoy Paris to my understanding there’s still plenty of stuff to do somethings may be closed for the holidays but there’s still free stuff. Plus just being in Paris is going to be amazing

Angelina Paris — my thoughts

I have been wanting so bad to try hot cocoa from Paris. I knew when I went to NYC I had to go here (there’s only two Angelina Paris locations, New York and of course Paris). Overall, it was pretty good but it did not meet my expectations :(. The hot cocoa wasn’t hot at all. I’m not sure if t
