Christmas Illuminations in Paris
Posted By Clement on December 3, 2009
I love to be in Paris for Christmas time, it is so romantic!
You don’t need any program, just let you go in the streets of the capital and look around: you’ll be impressed by the lights on the Boulevards, the beautiful displays and windows in the stores and the happyness of french people in the bistrots. You may be lucky and have some snow.
The Christmas lights of the Champs Elysees
The Avenue is lit by Christmas lights on the 2.4 km long, from place the Concorde where the big wheel is, to the Arc de Triomphe. Not less than 450 trees are dressed in bright crystals along the avenue. The lights of the Champs Elysees will be held this year from Nov. 23 to Jan. 10 from 17h to 2h in the morning.
The “Christmas Market” of Champs Elysees stands from 20 Nov. to Dec. 28
