What's Paris like in December? I'm thinking of going Dec. 22nd through 31st or thereabouts.?

Question

merci beaucoup

Answer 1

i was there last year at the same time for Christmas. so shops are busy with people buying last minute Christmas shopping and they close way too early. weather was 2 Celsius during the day and -4 during the night.

Answer 2

generally it's chilly and rainy.  It's cheaper to go then because everyone wants to go to paris in the spring/summer.  

My cousin and her husband went the first week of February last year and it was cold and rain/sleet/snow.  They still had a great time though.

Answer 3

I was in Paris during that time a couple of years ago, through New Years.

Although it was cold and busy, being from little ole New Zealand, seeing The Champs Elysees beautifully lit up with Christmas lights made it all worth while... So don't forget your camera!
