Paris is now bathed in the Christmas spirit. There are Christmas markets at various locations, and open-aired ice-skating rinks opening from next week. We went to Champs-Elysée to experience a Parisian Christmas, and it feels somewhat like Chinatown in Singapore during Chinese New Year, minus the hot weather. In fact, the weather was pretty chilly, such that our fingers were almost frozen while eating churros without our gloves.

| We took the chance to snap some night scape of Paris...great time to do this in winter, since we can take ages for the night shots and still be in time for dinner! |
This is also the season to go for Christmas light-ups at the châteaus nearby. We went to Chateau de Vaux le Vicomte (
