Even though I do lots of boring threads with photos at Anyport, I will spare you that and just propose 3 videos of Christmas in Paris — two of the department store Christmas windows and one of the Champs Elysées Christmas market.

Yesterday I visited the sites of the carnage in Paris. Obviously it is all quite grim, but some of the tributes put a smile on my face. These restaurants and bars were places of joy and will be so again some day. Only in Paris?
These are spectacular, thanks!
And by the way, I’ve never found any of your blogs boring, and they often shape where and what I’ll see on my next visit to Paris.
My favorite of these three is the market on the Champs Elysees. I have a fond memory from 2012, when a vendor refused me a taste of the cheese she was offering because she saw I had just finished eating a sausage: She told me to return when my mouth was ‘clean.’
Nothing like Christmas in Paris! Thanks for sharing these.
