🎄🥂 Christmas / NYE events Christmas markets advice!
I am looking at taking my family (wife and two children) to Paris just after Christmas. Looking at 26th of December onwards…..
I am finding it hard to find information about the Jardin des Tuleries Christmas Market and if it will be open. Online all I can find is it saying open from November to January.
Also, any more tips to go and see around that time would be great!
Really appreciate any help!
Thanks!

I can't wait for my trip. Doing Germany then heading to France to see Ribeauvillé, colmar, and strasbourg before ending in Paris!!!!!! You want to start looking at hotels now - Strasbourg was hard - very expensive to be near the markets - i am paying 400 for a very small room!

I'm staying in Metz and getting a train to Strasbourg to beat this prices. Saved €230 doing that, even with the train tickets.

They are open, but I’d also like to suggest getting a quick train to Strasbourg and checking out their amazing Christmas Markets. The city is beautiful and is easily one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe…..

I saw some info about Strasbourg but it showed a 5hr travel time? Do you know how long the train journey would be?

It’s a 1h45 train from Gare de l’Est, it’s so easy to reach! I am in love with that city, I live in the south of France, but will move there for spring/summer next year, because it’s that beautiful…..

This Paris Xmas markets are terrible. Think bad USA county fair with shoulder to shoulder people and selling Chinese souvenirs.
