Party Time In Paris
Paris is known amongst other things for its fine living, parties, and great wine so here are a few idea to whet your whistle for fashion, a party atmosphere and fine wine! Paris is so close, and there are bargain flights to be had with a few minutes search on the web.
Paris Great Wines Fair
Of course, you cannot visit Paris without enjoying a glass of wine, so it is worth getting down to the Paris Great Wines Fair. This takes place every December and is hugely popular with locals and visitors alike. In fact, it attracts over 20,000 visitors every single year!
The fair allows you to try and buy some of the finest wines available with over a 100 different chateaux represented. Some, you may of heard of, while others are new to the market or are much smaller and rarer brands. You will get to smell, sip and taste your way around the fair and buy some bargains at the same time.
The doors open at 10:30am and the fair runs all the way through until around 8pm, so there is a good full day to get around. However, there is so much to see that many people actually go back for a second day. You can purchase a one day pass for 20 Euro’s but you can pay an extra 5 Euro’s and get a 2 day pass if you think you will be one of those people that returns for more necessary research!
Fashion Tea Time
The Fashion Tea time event is a must of lovers of fashion. The event takes place at Le Bristol Palace Hotel on the 7th January every year. It costs 50 Euro’s to enter but you will get to enjoy a 90 minute fashion show with some of the biggest designers in the world. Previous designer collections shown have included YSL, Givenchy and even Versace! You will be served Parisian pastries created by the three-Michelin star team, delicious on so many levels!
Paris Carnival
If fashion and sweet treats aren’t really your thing and you would rather be enjoying a bit of a party atmosphere then why not try the Paris Carnival. This happens every March and is totally free to attend. It starts with the carnival build up at 1:30pm at Place Gambetta and then the procession leaves at 3pm to pass through the city in the most extravagant of ways. There are dancers, fire jugglers, loud music and performers of all kinds. The atmosphere is really electric and you will see plenty of people joining in the fun and dancing around in their very own costumes and fancy dress.  This carries on all the way through until 7pm where the procession arrives at the town hall for the Grand Finale!
Just a few ideas to get you reaching for your passport and with cheap flights to Paris – it’s just a couple of hours away to Parisienne heaven!
