Magdalena Petrusic, Travel Expert from Tours & Tickets, commented on the findings,
“Paris is a magical destination during the holiday season, for travellers, I recommend considering what time of day you want to visit the Christmas markets. Evening visits are ideal for those who want to enjoy the lights and festive ambience, while mornings tend to be quieter, offering a more relaxed shopping experience.
“Also, it is important to not overlook the fact that many markets only accept card payments, by having some cash in your pocket for smaller vendors you can avoid missing out on great deals. Making sure you plan ahead and choose the right hotel will ensure a seamless and unforgettable holiday experience in the City of Lights.”
