Description

Paris at Christmas is not a single attraction. It is a sequence: the department store windows by day, Place Vendôme lit at dusk, a vin chaud at the Tuileries market, tea in a palace hotel as the avenues come alive. Timing is everything, and most visitors only discover that once they are there.

The Paris Christmas Edit has done the research, made the decisions and worked out the geography for you. It is written for travellers who want the best of the season without spending their trip queuing, crossing the city or finding things closed.

What's inside:

• When to come, the best hours of the day, and what to book before you travel
• The Christmas lights, the department store windows and the four markets worth your time
• The palace hotels at Christmas, and how to see each without staying
• Eight hotels in three budgets, each chosen for its neighbourhood
• Eleven restaurants in three budgets, plus where to book Christmas Eve dinner
• The Paris Christmas Table: what to taste, what to take home and what to leave behind
• The Christmas Walk and four signature routes, timed for the lights
• Christmas Day, planned hour by hour
• Four day trips: Versailles, Disneyland Paris, Reims and Strasbourg
• Ready-made plans for one to four days, grouped by neighbourhood
• A Christmas map, an honest guide to crowds and closures, and a Quick Reference checklist to save on your phone

What makes it different:

Every recommendation explains why it earns its place. Facts are verified and clearly separated from editorial advice. Side-by-side comparisons help you choose between the Ritz and the George V, or the Tuileries and Notre-Dame markets. First-hand notes come from my own time in Paris, from afternoon tea at the George V and The Peninsula to dinner at Le Grand Colbert. "If time is short" decisions tell you exactly what to cut.

The details:

• 85-page PDF, designed to read beautifully on a phone or tablet
• Over 110 live links to official websites and maps
• Instant download after purchase

A note on dates: Christmas dates in Paris shift slightly each year. This guide follows the pattern of recent seasons and tells you exactly what to confirm before you book.
