The most beautiful avenue in the world is also the most enchanting around Christmas time, with sparkling illuminations, a Xmas market and free Wi-Fi, like we have in our hotels!

Here’s all the info.

When you think of Paris, you immediately think of the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and… the Champs-Élysées. Like our famous monuments, the most beautiful avenue in the world is ready to welcome you for Christmas.

First of all, the Christmas lights were recently switched on (although it has to be said they look suspiciously like last year’s and the those from the year before that). They’ll be twinkling every night from 5pm-midnight until 8th January 2017, and all night long on 24th and 31st December.

There’s also a huge Xmas Village until 8th January 2017 – 180 chalets in all! There are lots of handmade gifts, Father Christmas (obvs) and a 4,000m² ice rink (11am-midnight, 10€/8€).

And you might like to know that this summer the Champs-Élysées finally installed free Wi-Fi (we did this in our hotels over a decade ago). Should make uploading your selfies even easier!

And don’t forget that even after Christmas, the Champs-Élysées have a light show for you on the evening of the 31st December, projected onto the Arc de Triomphe, and the following day there’s a grand parade starting 1pm. More news on that after the 25th…
