We returned to Paris after Thanksgiving in the US a little bit later than expected because our baby got sick and couldn’t fly. This is our second trip of the year that we’ve had to change last minute and I’m so grateful that we have travel insurance. December in Paris is so festive and I feel like having little kids really amplified the holiday cheer for us this year. Read on to discover exactly where I ate and drank, shopped, and what I did in the December 2025 recap.

We were here for the first half of November before heading to see my family in the US for Thanksgiving. I really tried my best to pack in as much as possible because I knew as soon as we returned in December it would be full throttle before several family birthdays and the holidays.

If I had to pick a favorite month in Paris October would win every time. I love the crisp fall air, the changing light and leaves, and since there isn’t Thanksgiving in France it really seems to usher in the holiday season. We had a very busy, very fun month.

My family came to visit this September, which made it an extra special month. Every time they’re in town we go to all of our favorite spots, often times multiple times, so it’s literally a marathon of amazing meals. We also toured to Louvre, focusing on lesser-known areas but ending with the Galerie d’Apollon and the French Crown Jewels. The recent robbery makes me absolutely sick to my stomach, but I feel so fortunate that we got to see these priceless pieces. I’m hoping they will be recovered.

My toddler’s meals at daycare in Paris make me jealous on a daily basis. As you might expect, meals are organic, seasonal, and local products are favored. Lunches feature a protein and a vegetable or carb side with a fruit as a dessert and a cheese course for the toddlers over a year old. Snack time usually includes a yogurt or cheese, a fruit or something sweet, and a bread. The menus show three different meal options from babies starting at six months, to toddlers at 12 months and up to two years old. I used to wonder why my toddler refused to eat anything on a kids menu in the US…not anymore.
