November already feels like Christmas in Paris! ❤️🎄✨️

Here are a few of my favourite things to see this Christmas season ⬇️

1. The big Christmas tree in Galleries Lafayette Haussmann + surroundings.
2. Dior & Chanel in Rue Saint-Honoré.
3. Tuileries Gardens Christmas market.
4. The suburb of Montmarte.
5. The Hot Air Balloon Christmas decoration at Village Royal.
6. Le plus grand Marché de Noël (from today, 23 Nov).
7. Ladurée (all of them! 😊)
8. Caffe Concerto (best macarons I've ever had!) in Le Caroussel du Louvre.
9. The cute Christmas gift shops all over the city.
10. The sparkling of the Eiffel Tower (8 pm - 1am, every hour, on the hour for 5 minutes).

Here are my Top 10 suggestions of things to do and see in Brussels during Christmas ❤️🇧🇪🎄

1) Grand Place: The stunning central square of Brussels is transformed into a magical winter wonderland during the Christmas season.

2) Winter Wonders: This annual Christmas market takes over the city's streets, offering everything from artisanal crafts to delicious food and drink.

3) Brussels Christmas Parade: Join the locals for the annual Christmas parade, featuring colourful floats, lively music, and plenty of festive cheer.

4) Belgian Chocolate: No visit to Brussels would be complete without indulging in some of the city's famous chocolate. From rich truffles to creamy pralines, there's no shortage of options here.

5) Belgian Beer: Sample some of the world's finest beer at one of Brussels' many cosy pubs and bars. From crisp lagers to complex ales, there's a brew for every taste.

6) Atomium: This iconic landmark offers stunning views of the city and is particularly beautiful during the Christmas season when it's lit up with festive lights.

7) Belgian Waffles: Treat yourself to a warm, gooey Belgian waffle topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh fruit.

8) Mini Europe: Get a taste of Europe's most famous landmarks in miniature form at this charming attraction. From the Eiffel Tower to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, it's a fun and educational experience for all ages.

9) Royal Palace: Open to the public during the Christmas season. Marvel at the opulent decorations and learn more about the history of the Belgian royal family.

10) Museums: Brussels is home to a wealth of fascinating museums, from the famed Magritte Museum to the quirky Museum of Costume and Lace.
