AAA Traveler - Fall 2014 - 11

When it comes to illumination, the City of Lights is
perhaps best appreciated in winter, when the longer
nights offer more time in candlelit brasseries and bistros,
and the Eiffel Tower glows with welcome warmth.
A shopper's Valhalla, Paris celebrates the season with
traditional Christmas markets known as marchés de
Noël. Though the markets originated in German-speaking Europe, the festive, light-ﬁlled collection of cabin-like
stalls have popped up throughout the city in the past 20
years, including the grand Champs-Élysées and the more
bohemian districts of Saint Germain des Prés and
Montmartre. The wooden cabins deal ornaments,
jewelry, crafts and French delicacies from chocolate to
cheese, and many remain open until Jan. 4, 2015.
Once the holidays are over, les soldes, or the annual
winter sales, begin. Unlike American stores, the French
government regulates when retailers can break price and
offer special deals, creating a sort of shopping festival
twice a year, once in winter and again in summer. The
winter sales take place Jan. 7 to Feb. 10, 2015, touching
off deep discounts in every category from clothing to
housewares and technology.

around the city between December and March, including
the main one in front of the 19th-century Hôtel de Ville

(city hall) where rental blades are available.
A city of culture, Paris is hardly weather-dependent.
You'll have galleries to yourself - except, perhaps, in front
of the Mona Lisa - at the famous Louvre Museum.
Discover the many shopping arcades, covered laneways
lined in shops and cafes, when the snow falls. Duck into
Shakespeare and Company bookshop on the Left Bank
where the likes of Ernest Hemingway holed up. Be
among the ﬁrst to visit the new Musée Picasso Paris,
which reopens after a ﬁve-year restoration Oct. 25,
doubling its exhibit space.
And, of course, the weather gives you ample excuse to
linger in historic cafes like Les Deux Magots or Le Select
as did Picasso, Hemingway and other romantics.

Whether you need to recharge or experience the magic of the season, your AAA Travel Specialist
will plan a trip perfect for your style of travel!
