Christmas windows in Paris
The Christmas windows on Boulevard Haussmann were already inaugurated 10 days ago, and they are as spectacular as ever even if they are premature.
I have therefore been obliged to start a Christmas 2014 report for Paris, even though the first section is just devoted to Printemps and Galeries Lafayette. There is a video for each one as well, so you can see the little critters in action.

The Christmas market on the Champs Elysées opened today I think, and the illuminations will begin on November 20th, so there will be a lot more pictures soon.

Last time I was in Paris, I just missed the Christmas windows. They were setting them up. If it had been early, like this year, I would have seen them. They are always beautiful and fun at the same time.
That is quite THE tree at Galeries Lafayette..

If anybody is planning on seeing the BHV/Marais windows, don't bother. They are horrible. I will try to get to the Bon Marché before long. While their windows are generally far too <I>adult</I>, they are at least very artistically designed.

Everybody needs to see this sooner or later, so just plan a trip to correspond to the displays some day.
Since the "real" Christmas season is just starting, I will be posting lots more photos (and videos probably) on the same thread soon, so I urge people to keep checking back. The Champs Elysées Christmas lights were inaugurated tonight, and the Christmas market also opened this week. I won't be able to visit both until next week, but there will be a full report about both places.
