    Paris Christmas Markets 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Tuileries Garden is a highlight with its beautiful central location, huge range of stalls and Ferris wheel. If you can only visit one Christmas market in Paris, make it this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The smaller but equally pretty market at Notre Dame Cathedral is also not to be missed, known for its artisan goods and historic setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Almost every Parisian neighbourhood or arrondissement<\/em> has its own holiday market. These are the most notable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
