The magic of the holidays returns to Avenue Montaigne and Rue François 1er from November 14, 2025, to January 4, 2026. As every year at this time,Christmas lightsare strung in the trees, twinkling in the gardens and even in the shop windows, to the delight of Parisians, tourists, and luxury boutiquecustomers .
This year, the traditional kick-off of the illuminations is taking a break, before making a dazzling return next year. Last year, Manon Apithy, Olympic gold medalist in fencing, and Mathieu Forget, alias ForgetMat, the "Flying Man" with aerial choreography combining dance, acrobatics, and photography, lit up the Avenue. In a musical atmosphere warmed byAlléno and Rivoire hot chocolate , the event was held, as is tradition, in front of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées.
In addition to the beautiful illuminations (using low-energy LEDs), the Comité Montaigne invites you to continue the "Christmas Montaigne" festivities in the Maisons de l'Avenue, every Sunday in December. The luxury boutiques will welcome visitors in a warm and friendly atmosphere, with entertainment, discoveries, tastings and many other surprises!
For Christmas, Avenue Couture is decked out in lights, an enchantment you won't want to miss!
