Highlights
More information
Your evening begins at the Arc de Triomphe, where your horse-drawn carriage and guide welcome you with winter lights all around. Settle in under plush blankets as the carriage rolls down the Champs-Élysées. We’ll also slip into quieter side streets for a glimpse of festively decked storefronts.
After a photo stop at Place de la Concorde to admire its Egyptian obelisk and luminous fountains, you’ll continue on foot through the Jardin des Tuileries Christmas Market.
Here, you’ll enjoy seasonal treats, sparkling stalls, and views of the Louvre Pyramid in the distance. With your private guide leading the way, journey through the market’s best flavors and learn about French holiday traditions dating back centuries. Your guide can also recommend the best market stalls for souvenirs if you’re shopping for that special someone, so don’t hesitate to ask!
This private experience blends culture, romance, and a touch of Christmas magic that’s perfect for couples, families, solo travelers, and friends.
