The Notre-Dame de Paris, despite being magnificent on its own accord, takes up a spectacular avatar at Christmas. Set up every year in front of the cathedral is a huge ornate Christmas tree. Inside you’ll find the nativity scene on display, which is visited by millions every year. Another attraction of the season is the ice skating rinks that are set up in front of the Hôtel de Ville, Eiffel tower, and at Santa’s village in Avenue des Champs-Elysees. Entry is free and skating gear can be rented at a nominal charge. Theatres in Paris are on full swing in December, and tickets to your favourite performances can be booked online. You can also buy same-day tickets at half the price from two kiosks in the city – at Place de la Madeleine and at the foot of the Tour Montparnasse – from 12.30 pm to 8 pm from Tuesday to Saturday and 12.30 pm to 4 pm on Sunday. Topping the list of bests in a Parisian Christmas would be the cuisine. You will find the streets and restaurants vivacious with copious supplies of delicious delicacies. On Christmas eve, pick a restaurant with a view of the Eiffel tower and have a perfect Christmas in Paris sipping a glass of vin chaud as the tower lights up with a glittering display in the Parisian skyline.
