I wanted to take a moment to share the magic that is Paris during the holiday period with all of you. It is truly beauty and light and magic.
The Christmas lighting of the Champs Élysées, the most famous avenue in Paris, officially starts off the holiday season. The Champs Élysées connects the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, a 2 km distance that houses gardens, museums and shops in between. It’s a must to do when visiting Paris.
And every Christmas the Champs Élysées is lit for the holidays. Take a look.
La Grande Roue, Place de la Concorde
It doesn’t stop at the Champs! The City of Lights knows how to dress up for the Holiday! Here’s a sample
Lights above Printemps (department store)
Window dressing : Printemps and Burberry
Chatelet Les Halles (shopping center)
Upside down Christmas tree at Galeries Lafayette
Herve Châtelain, my favorite florist in Paris.
Hope you all had joyous and happy holidays.
