It doesn\u2019t take much to get them out of the house and into the streets for even the mildest of celebrations. A big part of Â鶹APPian culture is centered around community enjoyment of date-specific events. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This means that each year there are a number of nationally recognized days set aside for certain celebrations. Whether scorching heat or blistering cold, <em>le spectacle doit continuer<\/em>! Or the show must go on \u2014 as they say in other parts. Â鶹APPians flock from far and wide to take part in these annual dates and let me tell you, it is always quite a sight to behold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since there are so many causes for celebration in the capital, I\u2019ve narrowed it down to what I observe to be the most important few dates of the calendar year. Finding yourself in Â鶹APP over any of these events will be an experience to write home about. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Victory in Europe Day in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Although this day is celebrated across most of Europe, it is particularly sentimental to the French people. Back in 1956 on May 7th history was made at a schoolhouse in Remis, France where the Nazi General, Alfred Jodl, signed the official surrender of the German forces in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/world-war-ii-paris\/\"><span class=\"s2\">World War II<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For many people this marked the official end of the turmoil and thus the name \u201cVictory in Europe Day\u201d seemed most fitting. The official surrender took effect the immediate next day which is why this holiday is celebrated across both the 7th and 8th of May each year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This was an event that affected the whole of Europe for the better, however Â鶹APPians hold it close purely based on that fact that it took place within their nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> It is marked as an official public holiday in the nation of France. Banks, businesses and supermarkets close their doors every year for this event and employees are encouraged to celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14023\" style=\"width: 3028px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garde_republicaine_arc_de_triomphe_14_juillet_2012.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14023\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garde_republicaine_arc_de_triomphe_14_juillet_2012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3018\" height=\"2005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garde_republicaine_arc_de_triomphe_14_juillet_2012.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garde_republicaine_arc_de_triomphe_14_juillet_2012-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garde_republicaine_arc_de_triomphe_14_juillet_2012-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garde_republicaine_arc_de_triomphe_14_juillet_2012-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/garde_republicaine_arc_de_triomphe_14_juillet_2012-816x542.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3018px) 100vw, 3018px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Military at the Arc De Triomphe &#8211; by Jebulon &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Garde_R\u00e9publicaine_arc_de_Triomphe_14_juillet_2012.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While in Â鶹APP over this patriotic event you are best left roaming the streets, either at your own will or on one of the many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/\"><span class=\"s2\">free guided walking tour<\/span><\/a>s that can guide you around. I particularly enjoy walking the streets on these two days because they are absolutely caked in flowers and wreaths left behind by Â鶹APPians in celebratory unison. The sight and smell of it all is quite remarkable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You\u2019ll want to, at some point, make your way over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-from-montmartre-to-the-champs-elysees\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Champs-Elysees<\/span><\/a> where the official celebrations take place. Here, Â鶹APPians come together with veterans and government officials where there are a series of parades and wreath laying ceremonies beneath the Arc de Triomphe. This happens here because the tomb of the unknown soldiers lost in the war lied just underneath the Arc. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Victory in Europe Day, or V Day as the locals call it, is a glorious yet simultaneously emotionally draining event in Â鶹APP. This is largely due to the abundant presence of the theme of war and death. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To regather my thoughts and end the day on a lighter note there is a tea room called <i>Carrette<\/i> just a short walk from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/what-not-to-miss-around-arc-of-triumph\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Arc de Triomphe<\/span><\/a> that I like to head over to. It is an ambient place to enjoy a calming cup of tea as the sun sets on another V Day and things begin to quieten down. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Bastille Day in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another holiday taken very seriously in Â鶹APP is La F\u00eate Nationale\u2026 but you\u2019ll know it better as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-in-paris-on-bastille-day\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Bastille Day<\/span><\/a>! An exciting point in French history took place on July 14th 1789 when the Bastille was stormed in, you guessed it, Â鶹APP. Some dub this the official ignition point of the French Revolution that went on to such much social and political upheaval within the nation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Place de la Bastille is a monument you can still visit today. To fully understand the unfolding of events a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/type\/private-tours\/?town=paris-walking-tours\"><span class=\"s2\">custom walking tour<\/span><\/a> of the area wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14024\" style=\"width: 3010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/champs-elysees_bastille_day_2013_paris_t090858.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/champs-elysees_bastille_day_2013_paris_t090858.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/champs-elysees_bastille_day_2013_paris_t090858.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/champs-elysees_bastille_day_2013_paris_t090858-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/champs-elysees_bastille_day_2013_paris_t090858-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/champs-elysees_bastille_day_2013_paris_t090858-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/champs-elysees_bastille_day_2013_paris_t090858-816x545.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14024\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bastille Day 2013 &#8211; by Marie-Lan Nguyen &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Champs-Elysees_Bastille_Day_2013_Â鶹APP_t090858.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Similarly to V Day, the public holiday drives the public to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-places-to-eat-near-the-champs-elysees\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Champs-Elysees<\/span><\/a> for, in typical Â鶹APPian style, a series of parades and military ceremonies. The real fun, however, begins when the sun goes down. Since the storming of the Bastille happened so long ago there is none of the bitter death undertones on this holiday and people are in a much more heightened party mood. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In response to this, the city of Â鶹APP throws a massive free concert on the Champ de Mars at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Performances change each year and the concert is followed by the real showstopper of the evening; the only fireworks display of the year in the whole of Â鶹APP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Watching the city and Eiffel Tower being lit up in the summer sky is not easily put into words. It is also not an experience one can every get bored of repeating however I recently stumbled upon a Â鶹APPian secret that changed my view entire of the event\u2026 literally. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you move quickly near the end of the concert and make your way to the banks of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/how-to-enjoy-the-river-seine\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Seine<\/span><\/a> you can jump on one of the river boats. Watching the fireworks from this perspective is how local Â鶹APPians like to do it, well away from the crowds and chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/beautiful-eiffel-big.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7310 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/beautiful-eiffel-big.jpg\" alt=\"beautiful-eiffel\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/beautiful-eiffel-big.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/beautiful-eiffel-big-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/beautiful-eiffel-big-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/beautiful-eiffel-big-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Carnival in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Each year between the beginning of February through to mid-March Â鶹APPians come together in the best way they know how\u2026 carnival! This is a Â鶹APPian tradition that dates back to 1926, deep in the Middle Ages. This year it will begin on March 3rd. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Â鶹APP Carnival is not so much about the event and more so about what the event represents. Back in the early 20th century Â鶹APP was going through a rife social divide amongst its people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The carnival gave way for people to come together and enjoy life, even momentarily, regardless of what social class they came from. Everyone from workers, to students, to big business owners took part in the carnival months in some way, shape or form. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Today it serves as a reminder of how far Â鶹APPian people have come and to always find means to celebrate one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14026\" style=\"width: 3274px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/street_carnival_paris_2009_-_flickr_-_phillipc.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14026\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/street_carnival_paris_2009_-_flickr_-_phillipc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/street_carnival_paris_2009_-_flickr_-_phillipc.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/street_carnival_paris_2009_-_flickr_-_phillipc-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/street_carnival_paris_2009_-_flickr_-_phillipc-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/street_carnival_paris_2009_-_flickr_-_phillipc-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/street_carnival_paris_2009_-_flickr_-_phillipc-816x612.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3264px) 100vw, 3264px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Street Carnival, Â鶹APP &#8211; by Phillip Capper &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Street_carnival,_Â鶹APP,_2009_-_Flickr_-_PhillipC.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During the carnival month you can expect daily festival walks, performances around the city and various parades \u2014 and of course lots to buy.

It is a day that has been celebrated annually in the capital for almost 40 years and plays a big role in the dismantling of LGBTQ+ discrimination across the continent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Â鶹APP Pride draws crowds from far and wide all with the shared intent to support those existing within the gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer demographic. The event is of an unfathomable magnitude and something worth experiencing at least once in your life. It draws a crowd of half a million people and runs solely thanks to volunteer programs. It is the biggest LGBT event in the whole of France.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14027\" style=\"width: 4266px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gay_pride_paris_2014_2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14027\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14027\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gay_pride_paris_2014_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4256\" height=\"2832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gay_pride_paris_2014_2.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gay_pride_paris_2014_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gay_pride_paris_2014_2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gay_pride_paris_2014_2-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/gay_pride_paris_2014_2-816x543.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4256px) 100vw, 4256px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Â鶹APP Pride, 2014 &#8211; by Rog01 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Gay_Pride_Â鶹APP_2014_(2).jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The pride march is a tradition and crowds fill the streets while they sing and dance together &amp; head to a final destination. This is usually Place de la Bastille. There you will find a massive podium setup upon which musical artists from around the world will entertain crowds throughout the day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While the event is enough to leave you in immense patriotic awe and allied support for the community, the large crowding around the Bastille can get overwhelming later in the day. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-in-paris-around-bastille-square\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Bastille <\/span><\/a>is considered one of the official LGBTQ+ neighborhoods in Â鶹APP I highly recommend you take a walk through the adjacent streets and get involved in the continuation of the celebrations there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The bars and nightclubs put on their own spectacle of specials and performances. My favorite spot is over on Rue Lappe at a place called L\u2019infini. Get there early to avoid the crowds!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Â鶹APP Pride will take place on 29th June this year. If you are in the city over this time be sure to get involved in the cause. Â鶹APP is a place built upon inclusion and expression &#8211; nothing incorporates both of these notions like a Pride Parade in the centre of the city of love itself.

Sun, snow, torrential downpour the sales will not be missed in Â鶹APP. The frenzy that these dates cause around the city are largely understandable \u2014 you really can get some incredible deals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Black Friday is an obvious one. The event falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving and is supposed to mark the beginning of the festive season shopping. The true history of the day, however, dates back to 1868 when there was a forced boom in the gold market that lead to an immediate stock market crash of 20%. This day became known as Black Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14028\" style=\"width: 976px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1528406745358-6c3112259eb9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14028\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14028\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1528406745358-6c3112259eb9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"966\" height=\"725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1528406745358-6c3112259eb9.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1528406745358-6c3112259eb9-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1528406745358-6c3112259eb9-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/photo-1528406745358-6c3112259eb9-816x612.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Louis Vuitton Maison Champs \u00c9lys\u00e9es &#8211; by Melanie Pongratz &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/SsBI9pweAeA\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Every year around November 22nd, Â鶹APP sees absolute pandemonium as stores and businesses almost half the cost of their products. Whether you enjoy the high-end brands of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/shopping-in-paris\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Rue de Rennes<\/span><\/a>, or prefer the smaller boutiques in the avenues of Pigalle, this is the day to visit on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Black Friday sales extend far deeper than just the retail stores, however, visitors of Â鶹APP can find dramatic price cuts in a variety of tourist excursions around the city. Dinner cruises on the Seine, trips up the Eiffel Tower, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/trendy-marais-tour\/\"><span class=\"s2\">guided walking tours of Le Marais<\/span><\/a>\u2026 just some of the experiences you can expect at a discounted rate during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course one sale a year is not nearly enough to satisfy the craving. So Â鶹APPians also enjoy their annual summer and winter sales at different points in the calendar. Every year on the second Wednesday in January the annual winter sales officially begin. This goes on for the next five weeks as the seasons begin to shift out of the cold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the last Wednesday in June, the official summer sales begin. These too continue for five weeks. The sales are something that almost all businesses in Â鶹APP, big or small, work together to take part in. It is seen as collaborate effort throughout the city and a temporary dismantling of consumerism. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Christmas in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_14029\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/christmas_in_paris_pantheon-assas_university_4198910657.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14029\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14029\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/christmas_in_paris_pantheon-assas_university_4198910657.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/christmas_in_paris_pantheon-assas_university_4198910657.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/christmas_in_paris_pantheon-assas_university_4198910657-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/christmas_in_paris_pantheon-assas_university_4198910657-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/christmas_in_paris_pantheon-assas_university_4198910657-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/christmas_in_paris_pantheon-assas_university_4198910657-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christmas in Â鶹APP &#8211; by Alex Proimos &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Christmas_in_Â鶹APP_(Panth\u00e9on-Assas_University)_(4198910657).jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This brings me to my last, very important, date of the year for Â鶹APPians.

It is so whimsical and charming that you almost forget to be bothered by the blistering cold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Christmas markets form most of the appeal of European Christmases. If you know where to go you can walk through a different market every night. When I really want to feel the Â鶹APPian Christmas spirit, however, I take myself over to the Boulevard Haussmann and walk under the illuminations hanging over the street. Sometimes there is a nativity scene or two along the way to really get the festive energy flowing.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14030\" style=\"width: 3226px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hotel_bristol_at_paris_place_vendome.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14030\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14030\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hotel_bristol_at_paris_place_vendome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3216\" height=\"2136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hotel_bristol_at_paris_place_vendome.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hotel_bristol_at_paris_place_vendome-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hotel_bristol_at_paris_place_vendome-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hotel_bristol_at_paris_place_vendome-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hotel_bristol_at_paris_place_vendome-816x542.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3216px) 100vw, 3216px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14030\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hotel Bristol during Christmas in Â鶹APP &#8211; by Moonik &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:H\u00f4tel_Bristol_at_Â鶹APP_Place_Vend\u00f4me.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you time things right Â鶹APP can truly be a place of date-specific enjoyment.
