January is an eclectic month in Paris. If fashion is your thing we have Fashion Week in the second half of the month, while the 11th sees the launch of the Winter Sales. Finally, the 28th kicks off all the colour, spectacle and excitement that marks the Chinese New Year festivities. Trendsetting fashion fun, a golden opportunity for a shopping spree and a wonderful traditional event. How can you resist?

Christmas is only a few days away, and Paris is ready to embrace the festivities with her customary joie de vivre. Already the City of Light is illuminated with a thousand colours. Shop windows are filled with gifts and seasonal decorations. Some shops, however, particularly the department stores, take their window displays to a whole new level of eye-catching, jaw-dropping, heart-warming splendour. Even if you are only passing through Paris, you need to see at least one of these stunning scenes!

At the end of this month, and through much of October, Paris celebrates one of the most characteristic aspects of the capital and, indeed, of France in general: the art of eating well! Following this month’s Gastronomy Festival you are invited to participate in Taste Week from October 10th. This month full of flavour will then culminate in the Salon du Chocolat, to the delight of gourmets everywhere!

The Canal Saint Martin is a place that simply cannot be neglected during your stay in Paris. The area has a vibe all its own, with green spaces, charming small shops and upscale restaurants. And while you’re there, why not wander along to the outdoor cinema festival and catch a movie beneath the stars?
