Taking advantage of the quick and seamless crossing on the Eurostar train to Paris was a great opportunity to see Paris in December and in festive mode.
Despite the weather being extremely cold and the sky grey , the day was fine and enabled a full day of sightseeing without the need for umbrellas.
The major departments stores had crowds lining up to see the Christmas windows and roasted Chestnut sellers were doing a good trade until the police came by and they picked up their stands and fled!
The Champs-Élysées had a huge European style Christmas market with food, mulled wine and craft stalls. An ice skating rink was also set up and seemed to be very popular with adults and children.
