Where to spend Christmas 2015 in Europe
We are a family of 4 (kids ages 21 and 17) and we will be spending 3 nights in Paris until December 23rd and then will be going to Chamonix on December 26th. Need to find a nice city to spend 3 nights during Christmas. As far as how to get to Chamonix, we are planning to fly into Geneva from wherever we decide to go. We had initially thought of Prague but we are a bit concern about weather since it can be very cold, we already have a hotel booked in Prague; then we started considering Aix en Provence. Any suggestions?

For the Christmas holidays I would stick with Paris and/or Madrid, where there is always something to do, and usually no snow. But who knows?
If you don't mind a little snow, there are hundreds of places you could go where they celebrate the season.

Thank you for your responses, we have actually already spent Christmas in Paris and we wanted to explore a new city or a new town. At any time on the 26th we will fly to Geneva and then drive to Saint Gervais to spend 8 days at a private home with family friends. We just need to find something for those 3 days.

Have you been to Amsterdam? Check to see if what' going on interests you (most things are open, including many museums), but it's easy to get to, and easy to get to the airport.

I think I would have a look at Strasbourg unless you have been there before. A nice mix of French and Germanic that's quite unique.
And there's no need to fly to Geneva - you can train there in about 4 hours.

Not allergic to Christmas Markets at all. Sandralist, really like the link on Amsterdam, we had initially looked at going there and then moved on to Prague.
Never been to Strasbourg either, so that is a great option too.
So NO Prague then?
