Christmas fun for all the family in Paris

The Avenue Des Champs Elysées is enchanting during Christmas with the entire boulevard lit up with festive decorations.

The Place de la Concorde is picture-perfect with a very beautiful ferris wheel which looks like sparkling silver lace and is visible from anywhere on the Champs Elysées - even as far as the Arc de Triomphe!
