We all dream of pretty walks in the different Christmas markets, in the glittering streets or in front of the department stores' windows. This is also the magic of Christmas, rediscovering Paris from another angle.
Looking for a nice winter walk? We've found the right place. Called "The Magic of Christmas", the Tuileries market is the Christmas landmark every year. Eighty percent of the market is made up of French stalls. This year's programme includes an ice rink, the arrival of Father Christmas and many gift ideas and tastings.
