The city of lights gets a little brighter this time of year. The Champs Elysees is probably the best street to be on this time of year. The department stores go all out with their window displays, famous designers design amazing and quite unique Christmas trees and you can’t go anywhere without running into a Christmas market.
So if you’re visiting Paris for Christmas let us suggest a great place to stay. You want your European travel destination to be perfect and that usually means for Paris or any city in Europe a hotel that’s centrally located. It needs to help you rest so you can explore and see the sights. Our pick is Hôtel du Jeu de Paume on Ile St. Louis (St. Louis Island) in the Seine River. This hotel is close to everything and is perfect for the holidays. You’re close to some great coffee houses, shops, sights, downtown bars, discotheques and both upscale dining and casual dining. Best of all you’re super close to the metro station.
You’ll notice that even though the rooms here are small they’re bigger than most Parisian hotels. They underwent a remodel just recently and modern artists added their touch to each room. Especially during the holidays the fireplace in the lounge really sets the mood here combined with the stone walls and wood beams you have a warm and rural setting here. Even with all this the location is the best part of Hôtel du Jeu de Paume as well as the service. You’re next to everything.
Another great thing about this hotel is that it’s also quiet for being in the heart of Paris. You can relax in the private garden or grab a drink at the bar or one of the lounges.
Check out the daily events happening on the bridge connecting Ile de Cite and Ile St. Louis and enjoy the snow fall as you walk past the world famous Notre Dame. This is truly a perfect Christmas destination.
