Last Sunday evening I had the opportunity to see the Champs-Elysées all lit up for the traditional Marché Noël. It was magical. I'm not going to write much on this post, because I think it's best to just let the pictures do the talking in this case.  |
| All the fountains in the surrounding area were decorated like this, with fake snow sprinkled around so it looked like a wintery fairlyland. |

| These brightly lit hot wine stands were all over the place, all festively decorated in a sort of Germanic style with lots of garlands and vintage style Père Noël posters. Apparently the Marché Noël in Strasbourg is amazing, so maybe that's where the Germanic inspiration comes from... |
 |
| Another common feature are roasted chestnut stands ("Marron" means chestnut and "chaud" means hot). |
 |
| Some may say that this picture didn't turn out very well, but I like to think of it as an artistic portrayal of the hustle and bustle of the Champs-Elysées during Christmastime. |
 |
| Do I need to explain what this is? |
 |
| This was taken while literally standing in a crosswalk in the middle of the Champs-Elysées with traffic rushing past on both sides. It was such a perfect perspective I had to get a picture. |
