Not sure when they start to go up but in Paris last year the decorations were mainly lights. Different streets had hanging lights across them, some with eiffle towers, some with packages, some with snowflakes, etc. very pretty and fun to walk around finding them.<BR><BR>Also outside Gallaries Layfette they had strung these same types of lights across the blvd. and had decorated the trees- all red lights with red packages, very pretty. Other squares had put up lights. We didn't see the big decorations involving santa, etc. as they don't really go for that. But it was very pretty and the chocolate shops, patisseries, etc. had great window displays.<BR><BR>Wendy

The Christmas street lights should be up by then for the most part -- probably all by the end of your stay. The Champs-Elysees, rue Royale and ave Montaigne may be up a little earlier than some others, but most all street lights should be up by last weekend in November (11/29 or so)/beg. of December. The big dept. stores have Christmas window decorations up earlier in November.
