Paris has a secret. It's winters!
Christmas in Paris is a magical time of the year. A little insider tip: visit Place du Vendome during those days, and you won’t be disappointed.
On Parisian holidays, locals are often seen out and about while tourists take a back seat. You can visit the city at its rawest and cosiest during these days.
Let’s explore some specific things you can do to celebrate winter and New Year in Paris and why vacation rental apartments are integral to that routine.
Things to Do in Paris during Winters and New Year
The days are fairly warmer in Paris during this time. Nothing that a good down coat, boots, and a cup of mocha won’t solve. Rains can sometimes interrupt your plans, but would you rather be in Paris and enjoy the rain or miss the romantic atmosphere by being somewhere else?
But if it's not raining and you are out, then here is what you can do:
Paris Opera Ballet
Like a ritual, Paris always hosts a ballet performance in December. Spending your evenings and basking in the beauty of talented performers is a great way to spend time in the city.
Charming Christmas Markets
Picture yourself strolling through the charming Christmas markets. Spiced mulled wine, warm crepes, and twinkling lights are great companions on nights like these. The Champs-Élysées market and the one around Notre-Dame Cathedral are particularly enchanting.
Fairy-Tale Illuminations
As the sun goes down, the Parisian atmosphere takes on the form of a fairy-tale realm. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Champs-Élysées are adorned with glittering lights. How about planning an evening walk along the Seine River to soak in the magic?
Ice Skating Under the Stars
Imagine holding onto your loved one and gliding across the ice rinks laid across the city during winter. Isn’t it a great way to welcome the New Year? The Hôtel de Ville rink, with the majestic City Hall as a backdrop, is a must-visit.
Warm Up with Hot Chocolate
The days might relieve you, but the nights are cold. However, do not worry because Paris has a solution for that as well. Seek refuge from the cold in a cosy “salon de thé” (tea room). Sip on decadent hot chocolate while watching the world go by. Angelina, near the Louvre, is renowned for its decadent hot chocolate.
Snow-Dusted Streets:
Rains are tricky, but snow isn’t. If you’re lucky, Paris might gift you a light snow dusting. Imagine the Eiffel Tower peeking through delicate snowflakes—a sight straight from a postcard.
We’ve painted quite the picture here, right?
