We just returned from a long Xmas journey in France, spending about 8 days in Paris, mostly in the 7th arrondissement. I was driving around and found some hidden gems, but I'm curious if anyone else has stayed in this area during the holiday season. Did you find any particularly festive spots or unique local traditions? Also, any recommendations for must-visit cafes or bakeries in the 7th that might not be on the typical tourist radar?
