Trade the usual Thanksgiving routine for something unforgettable: bring the people you love together in Paris.
Thanksgiving may be an American tradition, but there’s something wonderfully fitting about celebrating it in France—a country where gathering around the table, sharing good food and lingering over a meal with family and friends are practically a way of life.
Late November is also a wonderful time to experience Paris. The summer crowds are gone, the city has settled into its authentic rhythm, and the first holiday lights and decorations are beginning to appear. Spend the morning exploring Saint-Germain-des-Prés or Le Marais, visit a museum without the peak-season rush, browse a neighborhood market for your Thanksgiving table, then return to the warmth of your own Paris apartment.
And because Thanksgiving isn’t a French holiday, Paris is open. While friends back home are settling in for football and turkey, you can be strolling along the Seine, visiting the Louvre, shopping the boutiques, or enjoying a long lunch at a favorite Parisian restaurant.
Make the apartment part of the celebration
For families and Friendsgiving groups, renting a spacious apartment offers something a hotel simply can’t: a home where everyone can be together.
Choose a property with a generous living room for catching up, a dining table for your Thanksgiving feast, a well-equipped kitchen for those who want to cook, and enough bedrooms and bathrooms to give everyone their own space.
You don’t even have to recreate Thanksgiving exactly as you would at home. Give it a French twist: fresh bread from the neighborhood boulangerie, cheeses from the local market, pastries from the pâtisserie—and perhaps Champagne instead of cider.
Best of all, you’ll wake up the next morning in Paris.
Stay a little longer
Turn Thanksgiving into a true Paris getaway. Arrive a few days early, stay through the weekend, and enjoy the beginning of the festive season together. It’s an especially wonderful opportunity for multi-generational families, couples traveling together, or friends who have been promising for years to finally take that trip to Paris.
