In reading it sounds like there is limited things open during 24/25th. My question is whats everything like from 26th. We want to go around the Louve, and various tourist venues will they be open.
We are going to Paris on 26th and want to know whether anyone can recommend a reasonable place to stay. I believe Montmatre is abit seedy so will leave that. We have our 23 year old son so we had better have 1 bedroom. Maybe apartment, what are anyones thoughts.
Cheers Julie

Similar to most cities, some things are open and some public transportation is running. Best bet is to check the websites of the specific museums just to be sure. Eiffel and Montparnasse towers are open. Even some boulangeries are open, got to have fresh bread.
Keep in mind Paris a popular destination over Christmas so make your reservations for hotel or apt soon. On this forum, everyone seems very taken with the Marais which is arrondissement 3 or 4. No real recommendations, my extra room is already taken:)

I was in Paris from Dec 26 for the Christmas week in 2007. Most everything was open as usual. I found a few galleries and smaller shops closed for the week, but that was the exception rather than the rule.
Have a look at renting an apt through vacationinparis.com. Good company. Their transactions are in USD, so don%26#39;t suffer with the tanking euro. Not sure how it measures up to your dollar??
If this is your trip to Paris, I might stay somewhere a bit more central than Montmartre. I love the back streets of Montmartre, but it%26#39;s a bit far from central Paris and all the walking you%26#39;re apt to do, for your first trip. Good luck!

Sorry, that s/b...%26quot;if this is your FIRST trip to Paris%26quot;...
