Christmas lights on the Champs Elysées


I could not miss it, could I? By "it", I mean the Christmas lights on the Champs Elysées, a traditional seasonal shot which is very similar years after years... And though, if you've been in Paris recently you will notice that there is something missing in this photo... The Christmas market! For yes, the Christmas market along the Champs Elysées only started 6 years ago and I took this photo in 2007, when it did not exist yet!

  1. I can witness the Chapms Elysées are beautiful this year !!! Last years, I was not very convinced by the lights they were using. This year, this looks more like in your post today. The lights are nice. I feel Lucky to be able to do my shopping in this beautiful avenue! Not Inside the market that I dislike but in the regular shops that are open until late which is good for out of time ones like me!

    1. The Christmas market is very criticized this year, I've read.

  3. Loved seeing this (and you, of course!) when I was there before Christmas in 2013 (in fact, I have a shot of the lights at the Rond Point des Champs Elysées on my blog today).
