Probably, the main advantage of Paris in winter – absence of a huge number of tourists from all over the world. The exceptions are Christmas and New Year. This allows you to see this wonderful city in a different way – freely and without rush. Winter in Paris can be compared with a quiet family celebration, while in any other season the city looks more like a noisy friendly party. Thereat, if you’re going to look at usual sincere Paris – come here in winter. Believe, in winter this city becomes more colorful and romantic, fairly melancholic.

Paris weather in winter would scare just inhabitants of a very hot country. As a rule, it’s quite warm – very rarely the air temperature is below five degrees centigrade, so you will not feel uncomfortable. The only problem can be the high humidity (Atlantic coast is not far) and drizzle with a rare snow.

If we talk about visiting of many museums in Paris and other attractions, it is obvious that wintry Paris has its advantages. As we have already said, the number of visitors is significantly decreased, what means that the problem of queues (eg, at the Louvre) is becoming less relevant. In this case you have more time for visiting of other places in the city. The same can be said about the family vacation – in winter you with children can easily get to the famous Disneyland.

Winter in Paris attracts shoppers. If you’re a big fan of stylish shopping – this city is for you. Paris is the capital of fashion, style and, accordingly, numerous boutiques, which cut their prices in winter. For example, sales of the previous collections of many famous fashion houses start in January (maybe it’s time to get your ducks in a row for the trip? )

Naturally, in Paris in winter you can find not only the positive features, but in any case, believe, that there are many more than negative ones!

For those (no matter where they come from, cold Russia and Canada, or hot Australia and Argentina) who have luck to see Paris in winter, the city remains in memory as magnificent, fantastic and shrouded in aura of romanticism.

Fast approach of Christmas and New Year’s holidays in the capital of France is already felt by the end of November. It is necessary to notice that for Frenchmen, as well as for the majority of inhabitants of the Western Europe, Christmas is the most significant holiday of the year, and therefore they prepare for it with the big scope.

So, at this time the Champs-Élysées from the Arc de Triomphe to Place Charles de Gaulle (for those who do not remember, there was such a well-known French president-guerrilla) are decorated by the most beautiful light equipment. For your disposal here are forty five (45!) kilometers of garlands, more than hundred and thirty thousand of bulbs, more than six thousand of special lamps-flashes which are lighting up everything around.

The closer the approach of a long-awaited holiday – the more beautiful fur-trees appear in streets of Paris. Like everything in this city, they are dressed in elegant “dresses” from local couturiers. Ten thousand Christmas-New Year trees settle down on the city streets as well as in all restaurants, shops, hotels and houses of Parisians.

If you happen to be in Paris during this remarkable time, you can visit a wonderful exhibition of Christmas trees in Rue de Rivoli (the street of Rivoli) where the celebratory fur-trees are displayed all decorated by designers, stylists, dressers and even confectioners and jewelers representing the well-known brands from every corner of the globe.

For junior tourists it might be a great attraction to visit one of the Parisian puppet theatres where Christmas scenes are performed.

The big square near the Paris mayor’s house decorated by statues of one and a half tens of the most well-known Parisians is the most vivid place during the winter holidays. Lots of grandiose dramatized Christmas plays take place in a huge marquee in this square.

For fans to take a look at vicinities of winter Paris from the height of the bird’s flight, skating at the same time, there is an ice skating rink opened on Tour Eiffel (the Eiffel Tower), at fifty seven meters height. As they say: all for you!

Besides, all other sights of Paris are ready to please city visitors all year round.

In spite of the fact that Parisian streets will be filled by “aroma” of Christmas this time of the year, have pleasure in visiting the most significant places of the French capital, after all it is worth it.

The Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre and the Louvre, Notre Dame de Paris- all this is only a top of an iceberg – the name to which is Paris!
