How Do You Enjoy Paris In Winter?
The prevailing notion is that Paris in the springtime is heaven on earth — but those traveling to the “City of Lights” in the winter months will find fewer crowds, better hotel rates and relatively mild weather with little chance of snow. Plan ahead if possible to fully explore your lodging and airfare options, and to ensure you lock in your top choices at the most affordable rates possible. Don’t hesitate to negotiate with hotels, and be sure to ask about any industry, senior or other discounts that may apply. This is the time of year when travelers, and not the travel industry, have the bargaining power on a Parisian trip. Try to find lodgings in a good central location. The Grand Hôtel L’Eveque, near the Eiffel Tower, is a reasonably affordable choice, but those able to splurge should consider the Four Seasons Hotel George V by the Champs-d’Elyse — a simply magnificent lodging that is among the best in Europe. Take advantage of the sparseness of tourists by scheduling a long visit
