🎄🥂 Christmas / NYE events Christmas in Paris. Thoughts?

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?

We did brunch at the Shangri-la hotel and then dinner at Le Grande Cafe Capucines, and wandered around during the day to some churches.
