Bonjour a tous! Hello everyone!

Welcome to the New Year!

“Bonne Annee” in French means Happy New Year in English

I hope you rang in 2017 with lots of laughter, fun and festivities, and I do hope you have a spectacular year ahead filled with love, adventures and success!
There is so much to be grateful for in our daily lives, and I’d like to send you a big hug with my thanks for opening up Postcards from Paris each time I email it, and for being part of my life-long adventure!

Things to do in Paris in January

01/01/11 by Paris-France | Blog, January | Comments Off on Things to do in Paris in January

“Teena can you recommend things to do in Paris in January?”

Frances is wondering what they can do in Paris in only 2 days in January.

Message: We “nutsys” are coming to Paris Jan.7 for two days. I am looking for a couple of fun and interesting things to do. We are staying at the Hotel Powers ( rue Francois 1ere). I can’t walk long distances, and with the “wonderful” weather, I am hoping you could give us an idea. Are there any flea markets open at that time?

Teena says …

Hi there Frances,

What a fun time you’ll have, although 2 days isn’t nearly long enough to get a feel for such a wonderful city :-)

Here is my page of Paris markets:

and here are some other tips for this time of year:

As I don’t know what you consider to be fun, I’m not sure what to recommend – you could go iceskating (not sure if this is possible for you or not), champagne cruise, browse ancient bookshops – here is my Paris tours page which might give you some ideas:

I hope you have a fabulous time!! I’m looking forward to being back in Paris in June and July this year :-)

Cheers
