Paris Christmas Markets
For youth groups
About Christmas Markets
Marvel at the magic of Christmas in Paris with your group this winter! Get up close to the season’s cultural traditions, enjoy the festivities, wonder at the illuminations and savour the smells of fresh gingerbread and pretzels; find traditional decorations and maybe buy something special for someone back home – or just for yourself!
Running from mid November till early January, it’s truly an experience not to be missed! Go ice skating at one of the outdoor rinks, see the Eiffel tower lit up like a Christmas tree, and follow your day’s activities with an evening in Paris. After all that excitement, it’s good to know you can relax in our comfortable Château de Grande Romaine and enjoy the warm welcome of our centre team.
Activities
Seasonal Excursions
Your excursion programme includes a visit to the Parisian Christmas markets, with a PGL guide to help you get the best from the experience.
