Christmas is coming, and with it, Christmas Markets! And there's no shortage of beautiful markets to discover in and around Paris. Christmas is a magical time of year in Paris and throughout theÎle-de-France region. Streets are lit up with garlands, department store windows are illuminated, and above all, Christmas markets come to life to the delight of Parisians and visitors alike.
To guide you through this festive atmosphere, here's a selection of the most beautiful Christmas markets to discover in Paris and the surrounding region, with practical information and tips on how to make the most of this tradition.
To make the most of the Christmas markets in Paris, we recommend that you plan your visit carefully. Popular markets such as those at Les Tuileries and La Défense are often very busy at weekends, so opt for a weekday or early-morning visit to avoid the crowds. Dress warmly, as winter nights can be chilly, and warm up with a mulled wine or chocolate. Use public transport, more convenient than the car, for easy access to the various markets. Finally, take the opportunity to buy unique gifts from among the many handicrafts on offer. And don't forget the Christmas markets outside the capital, which are real nuggets, such as the unique Marché de Noël de Janvry.
