The grey atmosphere, the humid weather, or the crowds going Christmas-shopping may all give you the unpleasant impression that you have made a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>However, I believe that winter is one of the best seasons to visit Âé¶¹APP.<\/p>\n<p>The cold weather, the Christmas spirit, the coffee shops offering a cocooning break in the urban frenzy, all contribute to the enchantment of visiting the City of Lights once the shortest day of the year has passed.<\/p>\n<p>In a time when money tends to run dry \u2013 did you already purchase that game your great nephew ordered? \u2013 you may still very much enjoy your time in Âé¶¹APP! Indeed, here are 10 things you should do in Âé¶¹APP to enjoy your time there, in winter. And what\u2019s best : they are free!<\/p>\n<h4>1. Admire the Christmas lights in Âé¶¹APP<\/h4>\n<p>Âé¶¹APP is known for its lights. All year round, the main monuments are lit in a magnificent way, and the huge Haussmannian boulevards shine and sparkle.<\/p>\n<p>However, the magic of Âé¶¹APP lights is nothing compared to the wonders you will see once Christmas time comes. The Christmas Lights on the <em>Champs-Elys\u00e9es<\/em> are often inaugurated each year, around November 20, in a festive ceremony.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13693\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1024px-champs-elysees-illuminations.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13693\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13693\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1024px-champs-elysees-illuminations.jpg\" alt=\"Champs Elysees Illuminations\" width=\"1024\" height=\"436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1024px-champs-elysees-illuminations.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1024px-champs-elysees-illuminations-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1024px-champs-elysees-illuminations-768x327.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1024px-champs-elysees-illuminations-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/1024px-champs-elysees-illuminations-816x347.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13693\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Champs-Elys\u00e9es Illuminations &#8211; Dimitri Destugues &#8211; on Wikimedia Commons<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If the <em>Champs-Elys\u00e9es<\/em> is the one that first comes to mind as far as Christmas lights are concerned, the whole city is covered with glitter in the weeks before Christmas.

Attend a pub event<\/h4>\n<p>After debating, time to relax! If drinking in one of the many Âé¶¹APPian bars is \u2013 of course \u2013 not free (and often not cheap!),some pubs or bars organise free events to have fun and take shelter from the bitter cold.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, you could head to the Scottish pub <a href=\"http:\/\/pubhighlander.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Highlander<\/a> at <em>8, rue de Nevers<\/em> (near <em>Od\u00e9on<\/em> and <em>Saint-Michel<\/em>). The pub hosts various events all week such as open mics, karaoke nights, and their weekly pub quiz on Sunday \u2013 when the winning team get a pitcher of a cocktail of their choice!<\/p>\n<h4>7. Attend a concert or mass at a Church<\/h4>\n<p>Whatever your religion \u2013 if you have one \u2013 and even if you don\u2019t do this for religious purpose, Christmas time is a great time to attend religious events as they are usually filled with carols, music, and a very joyful and generous atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>The Christmas mass in Notre-Dame on Christmas Eve gathers the crowds, of course. However, other churches organise free events, concerts and gospel choirs that are nice to see.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, you can see the program for the grandiose American Church in Âé¶¹APP, recognisable to its imposing spear, <a href=\"http:\/\/acparis.org\/music-a-arts-76181\/concerts-a-recitals-659\/concerts-a-recitals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>8. Go to museums or exhibitions<\/h4>\n<p>There are free exhibitions, year round in Âé¶¹APP. What a better time to see them, than winter, when the weather convinces you to stay indoors?<\/p>\n<p>The website <em>Sortir \u00e0 Âé¶¹APP<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sortiraparis.com\/lang\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">available in English here<\/a>, is a great source to find what is currently happening in the city.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13700\" style=\"width: 934px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/winged-victory-of-samothrace-1891666_1280.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13700\" class=\"wp-image-13700 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/winged-victory-of-samothrace-1891666_1280.jpg\" alt=\"Victory of Samothrace\" width=\"924\" height=\"613\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/winged-victory-of-samothrace-1891666_1280.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/winged-victory-of-samothrace-1891666_1280-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/winged-victory-of-samothrace-1891666_1280-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/winged-victory-of-samothrace-1891666_1280-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/winged-victory-of-samothrace-1891666_1280-816x541.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Victory of Samothrace &#8211; Source : Pixabay.com CC0<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Also, never forget that the great national museums are free on the first Sunday of each month. They are a great way to flee the icy cold and rain. If you are younger than 18 years-old, access is also generally free every day, wherever you are from. If you are an EU citizen, free access is even granted up to 26 years-old.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Have a mystic walk in P\u00e8re Lachaise<\/h4>\n<p>If the museums, pub quizzes, and free concerts are too conventional for you, what would you say of a spooky walk in a cemetery?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the idea must seem weird to most of you, but I dare list is as I don\u2019t have in mind any cemetery. <em>The P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery<\/em> is the most famous cemetery in France. On the heights of the French Capital are buried, there, many of the most renowned personalities that contributed to the artistic and cultural grandeur of the country.<\/p>\n<p>If you are lucky enough to visit Âé¶¹APP under the snow, then you should absolutely head to this tombstone maze. Lose yourself between the resting places of Edith Piaf, Maria Callas, Oscar Wilde, or Jim Morrison and have a memorable winter experience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13701\" style=\"width: 934px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cemetery-503232_1280.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13701\" class=\"wp-image-13701 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cemetery-503232_1280.jpg\" alt=\"P\u00e8re Lachaise\" width=\"924\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cemetery-503232_1280.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cemetery-503232_1280-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cemetery-503232_1280-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cemetery-503232_1280-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cemetery-503232_1280-816x543.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery &#8211; Source : Pixabay.com CC0<\/p><\/div>\n<h4>10.
