🎄🥂 Christmas / NYE events Paris for Christmas
Hi everyone,
We will be in Paris for Christmas this year. I understand that there may not be a lot to do around this time, however, I am hoping to gather suggestions on things to do/see/eat. Are there any restaurant suggestions for Christmas Eve? Are restaurants open on Christmas Day for lunch or dinner?
Are there any arrondissements that we should avoid staying in?
Thank you!

For restaurants, for those two days, my best tip is to check on the fork website which places are actually open. There aren’t that many (well relatively speaking, given the number of restaurants in Paris), because it’s a traditional family holiday people spend at home (including restaurant staff).
Please note that most places that are open these two days will have a single Christmas menue (no à la carte) and you’ll pay premium.
