Christmas lights on the Champs Elysees
Once again, the city of lights will light up from mid-November to early January.
This year, the lights of the famous Avenue des Champs Elysées - located a few steps from the Champs Elysées Friedland hotel- will be inaugurated by the actress Diane Kruger and the Mayor of Paris Bertrand Delanoe on November 21.
For those who cannot wait for the illumination of the Champs Elysees, direction to the department stores -Galeries Lafayette and le Printemps- which are already celebrating this festive season in style with windows even more beautiful than last year.
And because the Galeries Lafayette celebrate their 100th anniversary, the windows has been decorated by Louis Vuitton on the Disney princesses theme.
The Department Store "le Printemps" as meanwhile appealed to Dior who has decided to showcase the symbols of the capital, such as the Wwinter Garden, Avenue Montaigne or the Opera.
