1. Shop ‘til you drop at the Christmas market

Feel like you’re shooting for a montage scene in a feel-good movie as you’re browsing through the many stalls at the Christmas Village market, which is put up at walking distance from the Eiffel Tower on Quai Branly.

2. Brunching the Jules Verne way

If you haven’t planned how to spend your Xmas days, then think no more. Pop into Le Jules Verne restaurant for a brunch date with your partner, friends, or family, or just fly solo. As you watch the sprawling city view from the second floor of the Eiffel, the special menus (with Sea-bass fillet, Joinville-style prawns, and truffled farm-made “Meaux” brie) and traditional fare will add some extra pixie dust to your day.
