Christmas Markets in Paris

Posted on November 27th, 2011 by Jordan  |  Comments Off

So today, my roommate and I decided to take a look at the Christmas markets in Paris, because we’d both heard about them, but haven’t seen them.  First we went out to Place des Fêtes, because I knew there were regular Sunday markets out there, but there was nothing different between today and any other day, but I did get a crêpe while I was there.  Rob thought that the Champs-Elysées would be a good place, and as soon as we got out of the metro station, here was a Christmas market.

We looked around here, and there were a few things for sale, but there was a lot of food and vin chaud (Glühwein/mulled wine).  We had ourselves a cup of vin chaud as we checked the small sales counters.

So after that we decided to walk around a bit, went to a Virgin “Megastore” and Fnac, but didn’t buy anything.  Paycheque comes in a couple days so I’ll start my Christmas shopping then.

Anyways, until next time.

Stay awesome.

Jordan.
