Discover the Magic of Paris During Christmas

Our new Christmas Tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting Paris during the holiday season. Over 3.5 hours, you’ll be swept into the festive spirit as Paris reveals itself at its most magical. Glittering lights, festive decorations, and enchanting markets that transform the city into a true winter wonderland. With a private guide, hotel pick-up and drop-off included, this private experience combines comfort, exploration, and the joy of the season.

What to Expect?

Your private guide and driver will meet you directly at your hotel, and you will begin your journey at one of Paris’s most elegant squares: the Place de la Concorde. With its majestic fountains and sweeping views, Place de la Concorde glitters with festive lights in December, offering the perfect introduction to Christmas in Paris.

From there, you will wander through the lively stalls of the Tuileries Garden Christmas Market, where Christmas lights, holiday treats, and artisanal crafts create an atmosphere full of seasonal charm.

You will then be taken through the city to the beautiful Galeries Lafayette and step into the holiday magic of Paris’s most famous department store. Your guide will lead you past the dazzling Christmas window displays and beneath the grand glass dome, where the legendary Christmas tree stands tall. To complete the experience, you’ll be taken up to the rooftop of Galeries Lafayette for breathtaking panoramic views over Paris: the perfect way to admire the city as the sun sets and the Christmas lights begin to glow.

After that, head to the neoclassical Madeleine Church. Inside, your guide will reveal the stories behind its nativity scenes and explain the traditions behind Christmas in Paris.

You will be chauffeured to the famous Place Vendome to admire its refined beauty and symmetry and the nearby Rue Saint-Honoré. During the holidays, the luxury boutiques and fashion houses line these streets with exquisite light installations and a chic ambiance.

From there, you will drive along the world’s most famous avenue, the Champs-Elysées, as it shines with lights and the illuminated Arc de Triomphe at its end.

Conclude your festive journey at the Eiffel Tower, where your guide will take you to its Christmas market where you will soak in the magical atmosphere of Paris’ most iconic landmark.
