While historians would have you believe that Paris was so named The City of Light due to its early adoption of street lamps, a Christmastime visit will soon convince you otherwise. The famous Champs-Élysées, notable for its broad, tree-lined boulevards, fashionable boutiques, cafes and restaurants, is ablaze with thousands of glittering white lights, giving the city a festive atmosphere beyond compare. Paris is also home to traditional Christmas Markets, common throughout Europe, where you’ll find one-of-a-kind ornaments and hand-made gifts reminiscent of an earlier time. You can also ice skate in front of the Hotel de Ville and there’s a holiday air throughout the entire city.

In order to enjoy this magical city to its fullest at Christmas time, location plays an important role. The Hotel Best Western Victor Hugo is ideally situated within the 16th district, within easy reach of the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine, the Champs-Élysées and, one of Paris’s most dramatic landmarks at Christmas, the Eiffel Tower. Located close to the subway, shopping and restaurants, this 75-room hotel is ideal for a Paris getaway. This Christmas, experience the holidays the French way.
