Bonjour and welcome to this year’s tour of the holiday beauty in Paris. We begin with the always-magnificent Galeries Lafayette with its spectacular new tree design in the most dramatic location in the city.
What could be more breathtaking than this tree under the incredible glass cupola?
An elegant, vintage-themed tree with candles graces the lobby of the Ritz on Place Vendome, while a gold and blue carousel, celebrating the hotel’s 125th anniversary, offers a magical adventure on the Place itself.
Street lights on Rue Saint-Honoré, above. Below, the beautiful pedestrian shopping passage Village Royal.
In between Village Royal and Place Vendome lies Place Maurice Barrès, a showcase for the stunning holiday creations of top luxury brands.
Above, Ladurée’s gorgeous display on Rue Royale.
Above, the Bon Marché and below, Angelina on Rue du Bac.
Below, the prettiest flower shop in Saint Germain, Oz Garden in Place Furstenberg, has changing displays each day.
A charming new shop just opened on Boulevard Saint-Germain, Essential Parfums specializing in eco-responsible fragrances and scents.
Below, Marché aux Fleurs on Île de la Cité is the place to go for the best selection of grand sapin de noêl (Christmas trees).
Below, a quiet holiday moment on Boulevard Saint-Germain, around the corner from our apartment.
I hope this adds to your holiday spirits!
À bientôt!

Oh Georgianna!! Thank you so very much for sharing these photo’s. You have transported us to Paris this Christmas. Everything gorgeous and spellbinding. I so wish I was there. These places that I visit in Paris springtime (as beautiful as they are) are transformed in Paris Christmastime. And you capture them magically.
