Paris in spring might make for a nice movie and is certainly fine time to visit but the City of Lights is, well, let up for the Christmas holidays.
The Eiffel Tower in particular is a place to be as it is full of the holiday spirit, including a transparent dome over the central bar with cushions and throw blankets on the first floor to an elevator ride to the top with a glass of champagne in hand.
