Attend Holiday Concerts

Holiday celebrations in Paris are wonderful! Visitors will surely enjoy the city's schedule of holiday music and cultural events. The historic Paris churches hold concerts and carol singings during the month of December. The 6th arrondissement's Eglise Saint-Germain-des-Prés, which hosts a concert on Christmas Day, and the 6th arrondissement's Eglise Saint-Sulpice, which is famed for its Cavaillé-Coll organ, a classified Historic Monument are just a few places to check out.

The 8th arrondissement's Eglise de la Madeleine hosts special Christmas concerts in December that include a variety of classic pieces like Schubert's Ave Maria, Minuit Chrétiens (Oh Holy Night), and Douce Nuit (Silent Night). Or the Eglise Saint-Ephrem, in the 5th arrondissement close to the Pantheon, is renowned for its excellent acoustics and delights audiences with its "Concerts aux Chandelles" ("Concerts by Candlight"), which include a performance of Handel's Messiah.
