A dream destination all year round, Paris becomes even more enchanting when Christmas arrives. For shopping sprees, cultural experiences, nights out, and admiring the festive illuminations, the whole city will be your host during your stay at the Hôtel du Danube. And, to prepare you for your visit, here are some ideas…
The magic of the Christmas markets
With their quaint wooden chalets and their skilled artisans, the Christmas markets are a must during the festive season in Paris. Not far from the Hôtel du Danube, you’ll have the choice between three very different markets. Visit the nearbyMarché de Noël de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Elegant and creativity-oriented, it invites highly talented artisans to offer their gourmet, artisanal and quality products. More traditional and family-friendly, with many activities for children, the Marché de Noël de Notre-Dame gathers around the oldest tree in Paris, facing the famous cathedral. Finally, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the Village de Noël market focuses on the gastronomic specialties of our regions. A delight for the eyes and the taste buds!

Your Christmas shopping will take place in the most beautiful setting possible. The city’s renowned department stores adorn themselves with their most beautiful decorations and present ever more creative animated window display scenes. The illuminated squares, avenues and monuments of the city give each of your outings a romantic and magical atmosphere. Finally, the theatres, performance halls and cabarets offer exceptional shows to fill your evenings with fun, glamour, excitement and delight.
For an indulgent adventure among the best chocolatiers, a shopping spree in the luxurious boutiques of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a romantic stroll through the Christmas markets, and more, the city is yours and offers you its most beautiful activities to make this festive period one you will always remember.
