Top 5 Christmas Markets in Paris

At the first light of winter, the Batignolles neighbourhood awakens in a soft glow, as if gently dimmed by the season. In the still-quiet streets, the smell of hot coffee mingles with the aroma of fresh pastries from the local baker.

At Joli Môme, the urban guesthouse on Rue des Batignolles, travellers settle around the large table in the living room; a few pages turn in the library, voices blend softly, a steaming tea in hand. Paris moves at a slower pace, yet the spirit of Christmas finds its way everywhere: in the glowing shop windows, the markets opening their wooden chalets, the garlands shaping a different kind of atmosphere.

Winter is the perfect season to wander through Paris’s Christmas markets: places of leisurely strolls, handcrafted treasures, warm treats and delightful discoveries.
