Not many words are required. The images really say it all. We hope you enjoy this sampling of the Holiday Season decorations and extravaganzas in Paris this year.

Galéries Lafayette Christmas 2022 — Galéries Lafayette is ever a central attraction for Christmas in Paris. This year is particularly beautiful.

The displays at Ladurée are always elegant, classy and festive. Below is Ladurée Bonaparte and below that, the Ladurée on rue de Castiglione.

It’s hard to choose a favorite location for Christmas in Paris but Place Vendôme is certainly a serious contender. Here are a few images from this year’s decorations.

Ralph Lauren’s flagship shop on boulevard Saint-Germain is always festive and fun at this time of the year.

Rue Saint-Honoré is always beautifully lit for the Holiday Season, but a focal point is Place Maurice Barrès where you will find a wonderful hot air balloon outside the Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption church, and Dior and Chanel with their seriously over-the-top Christmas displays. It’s a great spot to just stand and look around and be amazed.

But wherever you go, there are decorations and festivity. It’s impossible to cover it all. Here is the Bar du Marché on rue de Buci as an example of what you will find everywhere in Paris at this time of year.
