Travel guide: about Paris

Paris in December trades summer crowds for Christmas markets, warm bistros and softly lit boulevards. Museums are quieter, café terraces glow with heat lamps, and the department stores on Boulevard Haussmann unveil their famous animated windows. It is a compact, walkable city where a couple can pair one big landmark each morning with a slow neighbourhood afternoon.
