Christmas is fast approaching, and for those who love Christmas markets, Paris has plenty to offer. Although, the famous Champs-Elysées Christmas Market is not operating again this year, fret not, as the market has found a new home at the Tuileries Garden. There are also lots of other great Marchés de Noël in Paris to explore. From the gigantic Christmas market at La Défense to the smaller village-like market at Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the French capital is alive with Christmas markets. There are also a number of new international themed Christmas markets . Some of these include the Noel a l’Anglaise at St George’s Anglican Church, a Swedish Christmas market and the Japanese Christmas market at the Passage Choiseul.
