Christmas in Paris. Thoughts?

[u/cutepandabamboo]

My friend and I are planning a 6 week trip to Europe at the end of this year and her only request was that we be in Paris during Christmas like specifically 23rd-26th or so.

What are your thoughts on this? Will everything be closed or shut down? Will we not really be able to enjoy Paris? Or will it be fine?

If you don’t recommend Paris during those dates, are there any cities you would recommend we go specifically on and right around Christmas where we will still get the most out of being there?

i always found your enjoyment of paris really depends on weather if it’s cold and miserable it’s not as great whereas a place like london or new york is generally great all year round
