Paris, France is known worldwide as the “City of Light”, so it only makes sense it has beautiful Christmas lights. And you can see these gorgeous Christmas lights on the Paris Christmas Illuminations Tour.
The Christmas Illuminations Tour is an open-bus tour provided by Big Bus. This means you can you sit on the upper deck of the double-decker bus and take in 360-degree views of the city. This can also make for wonderful photos and videos.
Because you will be taking in some wonderful sights. You’ll see Champs-Élysées, Avenue Montaigne, and other famous streets decorated with garlands, ornaments, and Christmas trees. The Eiffel Tower will be sparkling against the backdrop of the night sky.
You’ll see Notre-Dame and the Seine. You’ll also get to drive by Christmas markets and the famous Christmas window displays at Galeries Lafayette. It is a wonderful mix of seeing famous landmarks and gorgeous holiday decorations in one of the famous most cities in the world.
This experience is great for all ages and all groups, whether you are traveling to Paris solo, with kids, with friends, with your partner, etc. Whether it is your first time in Paris or you visit all the time, going on this tour can give you a fresh perspective and make you remember why you loved Paris and Christmas in the first place.
This two-hour tour runs during the evening but the schedule does vary. It started yesterday and will run until 5 January 2025 (it will not run, though, on 31 December 2024).
The tour begins at 156 Avenue des Champs-Elysées. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you have a seat in mind (whether it is inside where it is warmer or on the upper deck to get better views), get there early to get your seat. Also, given that there are open-air seats, make sure you dress warmly!
