DIOR AT 30 MONTAIGNE
From mid-November to the beginning of January, Paris’ streets glow with festive decorations that can conjure a warm smile from even the most miserable Scrooge. Amidst the shimmering displays, one of the most glamorous attractions undoubtedly belongs to Dior. At 30 Avenue Montaigne, the majestic mansion makes you feel as if you’ re stepping into a couture Christmas card. Last year’ s façade included cuckoo clocks, giant snow globes, and miniature theater scenes that brought Monsieur Dior’ s history to life. Inside, the patisserie serves artfully designed treats that look too chic to eat( but you should). Walk it off with a two-minute stroll to the Dior museum.

TUILERIES GARDEN CHRISTMAS MARKET
If you like your holiday spirit with a side of carnival rides, roasted chestnuts, and vin chaud, the Marché de Noël du Jardin des Tuileries is your ultimate festive playground. Running from late November to early January, this is Paris’ biggest and most boisterous market— a mix of tradition and amusement park thrills set right next to the Louvre. Browse the stalls for handmade gifts, grab a piping-hot crêpe, or just enjoy the sensory overload of lights, music, and seasonal joy. It’ s chaotic in the best way, just like your kids on Christmas morning.
