With December comes the most festive time of the year for many all across the globe as preparations are made for Christmas. It is one of the most widely celebrated holidays, and also one of the grandest celebrations. It is a time for giving and joy, but it is not only the magical spirit of Christmas that is beautiful. During the season many of the world’s largest cities are beautifully lit up, with charming decorations adorning every corner. It is a time of year where homes are beautiful too, and the centre of these is the Christmas tree. It has become a symbol of the season, and goes hand in hand with Christmas, and one of the best loved holiday activities is decorating the tree.
Paris is one such city that is beautiful during the Christmas season and so breathtakingly splendid that there will be nowhere else in the world visitors would rather be. Here too the Christmas tree plays an important role, and families strive to decorate it as beautifully as possible. But for an experience that goes beyond the traditional, and brings modernity and art into the season, visitors can head over to the annual ‘Les Sapins de Noel des Créateurs’ or the Designer Christmas Tree Display. It is a magnificent event, where some of the world’s best known designers bring in their own artistic interpretations of a Christmas tree. It is a stylish display unique to this fashionable city.
The trees are auctioned off among prestigious guests at a gala, but prior to the auction the display is open to the public. This exhibition has been going on for more than 15 years and has proven to be a large success donating large amounts to charities annually. It is popular among visitors as the designs are very intriguing, varying in size, shape and colour. While some reflect traditional trees in some ways, others are truly out of the ordinary and will invoke curiosity and thought. It is an interesting display that visitors should check out when in the beautiful city during the magical season.
Visitors can spend the season amidst elegant settings when staying at Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris, one of the most exquisite palace hotels Paris has to offer. It provides guests with brilliant settings, quality service and world class amenities and comforts that has made it amongst the leading luxury hotels Paris.
