What better city to be in during Christmas Shopping than Paris? This fashion conscious venue and city of love and light, waits on the foreign visitor with the gracious air of a famous hostess, dressed in immaculate attires with brilliant jewels waiting on her guests.
The streets of Paris are brilliantly adorned with dcor that is not too clich, not too bright, sometimes fun but always correctly fashionable. The most famous streets are full of people who have set out for those early shopping expeditions but when is Paris devoid or vacant? If time is a constraint as is the case most often, a visitor can head to Haussman and quickly rush through its floors of cosmetics, designer fashion brands, perfumes as well as over to some departmental stores such as the Printemps and Galleries Lafayette at the Boulevard to taste some great food items and make some excellent purchases. If you have set your heart on purchasing some designer wear, the rue Faubourg Saint-Honor or Avenue Montaigne are some of the places to be including the rue Keller especially for the young ladies.
Tread away from the well known stores and stroll through the Bohemmian neighbourhood to come across some rare items of jewellery, perfumes and other gift items at the Les Crateurs des Abbesses, Montmartre's Artisan boutiques.
If you are using shopping as an excuse to catch a glimpse of Paris wearing its fancy Christmas cloak and having some fun, The Place Saint Sulpice Christmas Market and the Christmas Market at La Dfense are the places to be with their fun rides, fairy lights and ice rinks plus a good many stalls that sell a range of items. Munch on roasted nuts holding a steaming mug of hot chocolate and you will forget even the shopping at hand.
Glance through the glossy exteriors of the
luxury hotels Paris into the warmth and Christmas spirit emitting from the large glass windows. There is even more of Christmas and joy to be found at Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris France. The ambience of this
luxury hotel Paris is one of sheer sophistication combined with the imaginative and unique presence of art. Add to that the awe inspiring and unmistakable Phillipe Starcks touch of interior design and you have a hotel that is hard to resist the moment you step into it.
