Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early on weekends or during peak holiday hours to avoid crowds, especially for Santa meet-and-greets and the luge track.
  • Check the specific attraction hours, as the luge and climbing wall have age and height restrictions and may not be open continuously.
  • Combine your visit with exploring the historic Marais district, which is just a short walk away.
  • Look for the official Paris 2024 merchandise and unique 'Fabriqué à Paris' crafts as special souvenirs.
  • Dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be spending time outdoors and walking around the market.
