Christmas Markets in Paris ~ also Current Hotel Promotions
Very soon, it will be time for a visit
up to La Defense to see the annual Christmas Market - one of many
throughout the city. The backdrop may be high-rise buildings, but
the chalet style stalls can more than conjure enough of the seasonal
feeling to get you right away in the mood.
The smell of mulled wine wafts in
subtle enticement through the air, and I never hold back. My cup of
mulled wine is my essential starter and my comforting accompaniment
as I browse through an enormously varied offering of breads, cakes,
sausages, cheese, kebabs and burgers. That's only the food, and a
short list at that. Gloves, handbags, scarves and sweaters, Christmas
decorations and kiddies toys abound in profusion and you are certain
to find something to catch your eye.
The crowds, the colourful lights, the
general buzz makes the whole thing a joy. It is simply wonderful to
make an outing of the whole event, bringing the family along in tow
as the build-up to the Christmas itself. If it's cold, strangely
you feel the warmth of the occasion even more.
I am writing about La Defense because
that is where my inclination takes me for my first visit this year to
a Christmas market, but there are other excellent ones including
those at la Trocadero and the Champs-Élysées. Additionally, at la
Trocadero you could break-a-leg and really enter into the excitement
of things with a whizz around the ice rink. Think of it - your
chance to envelop yourself in the sheer joy of Paris, and possibly
also plaster of Paris.
So much to think of and so much to see
as you meander your way through the market with a vin chaud and a
caramel apple. As a visitor something else you must think about
..... where are you going to stay if you are planning to visit the French capital at Christmas time? To the rescue here with some money saving Paris hotels deals which should see you comfortably ensconced in an excellent hotel and at your ease to explore this beautiful city. Also, here is another star offer that should interest you .......
Next post - more promotions and more discounts.

The Paris Metro Offers Convenient But Wearisome Travel ~ plus Midweek Hotel Breaks
I have said it here before ..... the simplest and easy way to see Paris is to make use of your own feet and walk. A short stroll is all it will take to travel between many of the city's popular tourist attractions, and you get to pass through the vibrancy of Paris street life and the surprises that it can hold.
This way, there is more to see and you get to experience the atmosphere of the district you are in. It is more enjoyable, less hassle and, let's face it, healthier in every sense.
Admittedly, you will need to take the Metro just for sheer convenience sometimes, but that can involve many stairs, long corridors, congested stations and a wearisome atmosphere.
Travelling on the Metro is mostly a routine, uneventful experience, but like every form of public transport you can come across some unpleasant incidents and occasional boorish behaviour. The transport authority the RATP have made some recent efforts to mollify the worst of the mindless and inconsiderate carry-on, but I think it makes very little difference to the ignorant minds at which it is targeted.
Certainly, one thing you need to be careful of when travelling the Metro is your personal security. Predatory petty criminals may be your travelling companion on any journey, and they are just waiting to take the opportunity to dispossess you of your property.
You need to be aware and alert. Keep your bags close to you - shut and zipped - and be mindful of who may be standing close to you and how they are behaving. Otherwise, you could quickly fall victim to the pickpocket brigade that constantly and freely inhabit the Metro system.
Be very careful if you want to use your smartphone on the Metro. In fact, don't if possible. These are a coveted item and it may be abruptly and violently taken off you. It shouldn't happen, but it does. In common with most European cities, low-life seem to have a special dispensation to casually commit their crimes without any real fear of retribution. You may feel that you your feelings of self-worth would never see you reduced to being a mere statistic, but to the authorities that is all you would be ..... even if you ever managed to figure in their staple collection of crime stats.. Which you won't.
But putting those grim thoughts aside, care and caution is key. That way you shouldn't have a problem. Instead, let's accentuate the positive. For the end of month we feature more savings and discounts from our Paris hotels deals courtesy of this recent promotion -

The Church of St-Germaine-des-Pres ~ and also some new Hotel Deals in the Latin District
 |
| The Church of St-Germaine-des-Pres is the oldest in Paris and dates from the year 542 when the original basilica on this site was built to house religious relics including a relic of the true cross. Despite a devastating fire in 1794 some original features still survive. |
A walk through the Latin district will
soon bring you in contact with the oldest church in the city, the
Church of St-Germaine-des-Pres. It has its origins all the way back
to 542 when the church was built to house a relic of the true cross
and developed in time to become a Benedictine abbey of some
considerable influence. The church was devastated during the time of
the French revolution, and most of it was burned out in 1794.
What you see now are the results of the
reconstructive work carried out in the 19th century. A
visit will give you the opportunity to explore its interesting
history and discover many of its impressive features. It will also
give you the chance to experience its striking medieval atmosphere,
which even if it is not talked about by tour guides, you can
certainly sense after some quiet moments inside.
Booking any of the reputable Paris city centre hotels will put you right in the heart of all that is best to see in Paris, but to stay stay near St-Germaine-des-Pres itself and experience life in the Latin Quarter our highlight promotion will let you do just that -

Disney's Paris Fantasy ~ with new Deals for Disneyland Hotels
Visit Disneyland Resort Paris and you
will soon find yourself peering through the windows of Victorian
buildings, admiring the archaic displays, perhaps feeling a bit
puzzled by some of the business signs and certainly marvelling at the
vintage transport that make up the traffic. Well, you are in Main
Street, USA and a look around at the wonderful recreation of
small-town America will leave you spell-bound.
Really, you have only come in the door,
so to speak, with all the adventures of Disneyland Paris awaiting
you, and straight away you are greeted by this impressive vista.
Disney always put in the effort and it shows even down to the fine
details of the Victorian facades along Main Street.
It is so inviting - you feel that
you have stepped back in time, and the entire setting does everything
to convince you that you have, in fact, been transported from the
mundane present to a past fantasy. In a way, it sort of says:
you're here now .. go and enjoy.
~ Look out for even more discount breaks at Paris Best Hotels.net with all new Family hotels Paris special offers.
