CHRISTMAS WINDOW DISPLAYS IN PARIS: FROM THE DEPARTMENT STORES TO AVENUE MONTAIGNE
Enchanting decorations, animated characters and thousands of twinkling lights… As the festive season approaches, Paris invites you to rediscover your childhood sense of wonder. From the department stores on Boulevard Haussmann to elegant Avenue Montaigne, enjoy a stroll filled with Christmas magic.
Galeries Lafayette and Printemps: festive enchantment on Boulevard Haussmann
Every winter, their window displays become miniature theatres, delighting visitors of all ages.
For Christmas 2026, Galeries Lafayette unveils a joyful, colourful world imagined by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Be sure to step inside to admire the magnificent Christmas tree beneath its famous dome.
Just a short walk away, Printemps Haussmann celebrates Christmas through knitting and textile arts: animated characters, balls of yarn and whimsical decorations create a charming, heartwarming spectacle.
Avenue Montaigne: Christmas with a touch of elegance
Continue your festive journey along one of the most beautiful avenues in Paris. From 19 November 2026, Avenue Montaigne and Rue François-Ier sparkle with Christmas illuminations.
Glittering trees, couture window displays and decorated façades create a dazzling walk through the heart of the Golden Triangle. Pause outside 30 Montaigne, Dior’s historic address, whose decorations add to the neighbourhood’s enchantment. A lovely outing at dusk, before continuing towards the Seine and Pont de l’Alma.
Le Bon Marché: a cosy stop on the Left Bank
On Rue de Sèvres, Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche transports you to a Christmas village inspired by mountain scenery. Follow your visit with a stroll through Saint-Germain-des-Prés and a delicious break: hot chocolate, a pastry and the simple pleasure of taking your time.
La Samaritaine: Christmas magic near Pont-Neuf
Close to the Seine, La Samaritaine dresses in lights and snowflakes, evoking a snow-covered Paris. A poetic final stop, perfectly paired with a riverside stroll.
Your Parisian home for the festive season
After exploring the window displays and illuminations, return to the welcoming atmosphere of Hôtel de Londres Eiffel, just a short walk from the Eiffel Tower. Our team will be delighted to help you plan your outings and share their favourite local addresses.
