Paris in Winter

by ginalynne - last update: Apr 9, 2007

Rue Daguerre

Many neighborhoods in Paris are decorated for weeks before and after Christmas. Strolling the streets to see the lights is a great ending to a hectic day in the city.

Lights

Department stores and other businesses use dazzling light configurations to lure customers into the area.

Ice Skating at the Hôtel de Ville

Every year from December to March, an ice-rink is created in front of the Hôtel de Ville, the city hall. This attraction includes music, lights, and food stands serving the necessary chocolat chaud and crepes.

The More the Merrier

Another attraction at the Hôtel de Ville is the temporary merry-go-round.

More Christmas Spirit

Another example of decorating for the consumer...

Decorations at Hôtel de Ville

My favorite light display at Hôtel de Ville includes this gingerbread "person."

Cold, cold, weather

Only in the winter can you catch sight of birds "walking on water" in the Bois de Vincennes.

New Year's Eve

Spectacular scenes can be enjoyed all over the city on New Year's Eve. This image was taken at the Place de la Concorde under the lights of the Millenium Wheel in 2002.
