== == Christmas day in contemporary Paris is much like it is in much of the Western world. It?s a national holiday and virtually all major attractions are closed. This means that, unless you are planning to visit Disneyland Paris, you should probably plan a day of relaxation for December 25th. On Christmas Eve, most Parisians pile into churches for midnight mass. The Christmas season in Paris begins on December 6th with St. Nicholas Day and continues through the first Sunday after January 1st with the Epiphany. New Year?s Day is also a national holiday in France, which means that many attractions are closed. Chances are, you are going to be ready for an easy and restful day after a somewhat eventful New Year?s Eve, but if you plan to sightsee on January 1st, it?s highly recommended that you first verify the place you intend to visit will be open.
