I need to tell you more as found me pictures in my vault not in my blog yet and they should, Do not know why but the first post only had a handful of pictures and left many out for some reason,,I like to make up for this lost to do a follow up post on the Paris Christmas 2016 and its marché de Noël. We were in Paris ,visiting from our new home in the Morbihan breton, and this is my take on this now famous Christmas spot in Paris. Hope you enjoy it as I.
The Avenue des Champs Elysées was the first in Paris we went out once in France, and really honestly thought back then would never make it as it was almost empty ,but over the years has grown to a really nice good Christmas market or Marché de Noël. We walked down the Avenue des Champs Elysées from the Arc de Triomphe all the way to the metro Roosevelt square rond-point des Champs-Elysées and into the Place de la Concorde and the big wheel or Grande Roué in front of the entrance to the jardin des Tuileries.
The Christmas market on the Champs-Elysées has made a real effort since it offers 5 villages 100% made in France this year: artisans, crafts, regional delicacies, the magical forest of France and the village of charities.
In between, there was a plethora of chalets, kiosks, bank ATM, rides and food stalls even full restaurants serving season’s fare and trinkets from as far away as Brazil. The ambiance was very nice and locals mingle with tourists alike in a wonderful holiday spirit. We love it !!
For us it was sublime, wonderful family time which we will cherish for life. Now looking forward to the next ones which have become even better, I have most of the write up in my previous post on it ,this one will be more on the missing pictures, Hope you get the spirit and be here next time by Paris !
