The French do classy better than any people on earth. With winter being the perfect time to look demure and elegant, this could scare you away from a trip to Paris at this time of year. Don’t let it! If you did it would mean you would miss out on the Paris Christmas Markets.
While there is a certain ubiquity to Christmas markets – there is one in almost every major world city – this should not detract from the brilliance of the Paris Christmas market.
Situated between Boulevard Saint-Germain and Place Saint-Sulpice and lasting from the 5th until the 31st of December, this really is a terrific event: the market features products ranging from traditional French favourites – clothes, food, wine – to the more obscure such as artisan nutcrackers.
What’s more, one can stroll around the market while enjoying a class of Vin Chaud (how much more classy does that sound than ‘mulled wine’) and if one is looking for stocking fillers for children, help is at hand: children can visit Père Noël and reveal their wish-list – this is useful for present-buying – and it gets rid of them for a while if you wish to buy an extra-secret present.
With the quality of produce on show, this outcome is very likely. But that shouldn’t put you off visiting the Paris Christmas Markets – they truly are a sight to behold.
