Celebrate The Holidays In Your Luxury Paris Apartment

Submitted by: Rita Borges

If you are in Paris over the Christmas holidays the last thing you want to do is face a foreign hotel room far away from home devoid of any hint of the joy of the season, even if it is in one of the luxury hotels in Paris. The trip from the gaily decorated lobby to your room could be a deflating one. Paris is especially bright and glowing at this time of year with spectacular displays. Having an equally celebratory environment to return to can make the difference between a memorable holiday and a holiday memorable for not being happy.

Having a home away from home rather than a hotel room remedies that problem. In fact, much of the fun of the visit to Paris can be decking the halls of a luxury Paris apartment you have rented.

You will have a fully equipped kitchen, which means you can shop Paris gourmet food halls to prepare a typical holiday meal for your family. If you don t cook, bring home a fabulous Buche de Noel (Yule log) and festive holiday treats to dine on. Decorate your holiday table with boughs of holly and red candles. Put a wreath on the door of your luxury Paris apartment. Pile presents under the tree you have brought in to your living room and don t forget a glass of milk and a plate of cookies for Santa before you go to bed. Sounds better than ordering a holiday meal and eating it from a hotel cart, doesn t it?

The ability to cook your Christmas dinner is a huge plus at this time of year. Restaurants for Christmas dinner or New Year s Eve dinner in Paris are likely to be fully booked and some even closed or operating with reduced staff for the holiday. The special dinners offered by the large luxury hotels in Paris can be prohibitively expensive.

Traveling with your family to Paris over Christmas can either be stressful trying to find that holiday spirit you are used to, or it can be joyful in being able to give your family the same traditional holiday environment they are used to at home.

A trip to Disneyland just outside of Paris will help bring the spirit of an American style Christmas alive for your children as well!

In Paris for New Year s Eve? Having a luxury Paris apartment to call home enables you to put on the Ritz without spending so much you feel as if you bought the Ritz. Dress up your luxury Paris apartment with sparklers, candles, flowers, a decadent food spread, and champagne and celebrate in style!

Americans in Paris over Thanksgiving can order ahead a dindon (turkey) and find cranberries more easily than finding an authentic Thanksgiving dinner being served at a restaurant. Although there are a handful of American restaurants and bistros that will serve Thanksgiving dinner or lunch, they are booked months in advance and you will be dining in an impersonal atmosphere rather than around a family table. Thanksgiving en famille in your own dining room in your luxury vacation apartment in Paris, especially if you are traveling with children, can recreate that special nostalgia for celebrating a true American style Thanksgiving.

For the 4th of July, some American style restaurants in Paris will serve what they hope will be typical American 4th of July fare. Instead, throw your own party in your luxury Paris apartment. Rent one with a nice outdoor terrace. Food should be no problem. Grill some hamburgers and serve them on large brioche buns from the local bakery. Offer condiments like cheese, bacon, relish and ketchup you can find at the local supermarket. A big bowl of potato chips, a bucket with chilled beer and wine, and bowls of ice cream topped with sliced strawberries and whipped cream should do it!
