Magic of Christmas in Paris

Champs-Elysees street |
Paris is a city of love and lights.. and it is hard to describe this magical city in words. It has something for everyone, the sparkling Eiffel tower at night that takes your breath away or the Mona Lisa smile which is so unfathomable or the Champs-Elysees where fashion is so unaffordable or the historical museums and palaces, there is romance in each and every inch of the city.
I was lucky to be a part of this city during its Christmas celebrations and wanted to share my experience on my blog. The entire city is lit up in festive lights, people are singing Christmas carols all the way on roads, metros... everywhere and the atmosphere transcends into a magical dream as if you are not in this world.The perfect recipe for a perfect romance, and may be that is why it is known as a city of love.

Marché de Noël (Christmas Market) |
The Eiffel tower shines through the night and its reflection in the Seine river. And every hour after 8pm, there are white sparkling lights and the entire Eiffel twinkles and tourists go crazy shooting videos of this wonder in the world. This only lasts for 5 mins and if you miss it, wait for it to happen at 9pm. I think this cycle goes on until 1 am in the night, do not miss it.
