Magical and fun... It's Christmas in Paris

The streets and shops sparkle and glow, seasonal decorations spring up throughout the capital, festive markets and temporary skating rinks flourish... it's Christmas in Paris! The Hotel Relais du Marais suggests some outings that will fill you with the Christmas spirit.

On the trail of the Christmas markets

A must-see in Paris during the festive season, the capital’s Christmas markets have set up their beautifully decorated and illuminated wooden chalets and you’re invited to browse and buy. From the Marché de Noël des Halles to that of Notre-Dame, by way of the Tuileries and La Défense Christmas markets, you can enjoy the pleasure of strolling between stalls offering local produce, delicatessen delights, handicrafts, Christmas decorations and more. 

If all that strolling and shopping gives you an appetite, you need look no further for a tasty treat because these markets offer some fabulous food on the go. There’s waffles, crêpes, donuts and other sweet delicacies, as well as drinks to give you a winter glow such as hot chocolate or irresistibly fragrant mulled wine.

Frosty fun on pop-up rinks

Enjoy wonderful moments until the beginning of January on indoor and outdoor ice rinks installed especially for the festive season. Seasoned skater or total novice, it’s an opportunity to strap on your skates and glide away across the ice. You’ll find rinks in the Grand Palais, on the roof of the Galeries Lafayette, close by the Eiffel Tower and in the Jardin des Tuileries!

Shopping and entertainment; a Christmas tradition

Christmas is fast approaching, so it’s time to look for gifts. The department stores offer an amazing range of choice and their decorations and illuminations will help make your shopping spree truly magical.

Your stay at the Hotel Relais du Marais will leave you with a heart-warming memory of a Parisian Christmas!
