Despite the city's cancellation of their usual Christmas Village, Milan from With Love From Paris Tours did a marvelous job. Shops, touring downtown, and of course chocolate. It was truly like an outing with old friend. Highly recommend.

I have been to Paris several times before and visited all the usual attractions. In preparing for this visit, I realised I had never really spoken to a local about what it is like to actually live there. My time with Milan was just like meeting up with an old friend. The Christmas tour in itself was fabulous in the places we visited, but it was talking to Milan about Christmas traditions and day to day life in Paris, and special places to see, that really made my time in Paris the best experience to date.
