Christmas in Paris with your family, without the December scramble.
Paris in December is lit up, busy and partly closed on the days that matter most. We plan the season around your family: the windows and lights, the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals booked early, and what is actually open on December 25.
Many restaurants serve set menus on December 24 and 25, and the good ones fill weeks ahead. Some close. We find places that welcome families on those evenings and book them as soon as they open.
What is open, and what is not
Several museums, including the Louvre, close on December 25. We plan that day around what stays open, a walk under the lights and a long lunch, and put the big visits on other days.
The magic, at the right hour
The department store windows on Boulevard Haussmann, illuminated avenues and seasonal markets are best at certain times and crowded at others. We place them in the day so younger children see them before they are tired.
A family-sized plan
Connecting rooms or an apartment, short days for small children, one activity for the teenagers, and someone in Paris to call during the holidays.
