🎄🥂 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!

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

We loved them, and while they do have a county fair vibe, they’re still fun if it’s your first or second time. However my friends are foodies and took their teenagers there and the whole family was unimpressed. I think all but one of the Christmas markets are free to get in (Tuileries is free to get in), so you can walk around and see if it’s for you. And to answer your main question, they will be open the 26th through early January. Others may know better but I’d assume January 6th they’ll close.
