Christmas market and a Ferris wheel.

Last weekend, I went into Paris again to see some friends and go to some Christmas markets. The markets were pretty neat, even if the prices were through the roof.

Some of the market stalls along the Champs-Élysées.

We wandered down both sides of the street, looking at all of the stalls and buying nothing. The thing that really caught our eye was at the end of the Champs-Élysées, at the entrance to the Tuileries.

Of course, we decided that we had to go on it. I mean, how could we not? The line was surprisingly short, and we got on about 10 minutes after we got in line.

As one could guess, the view from the wheel was absolutely amazing. You could see everything and, since it was dusk, the city was just beginning to light up.

All in all, it was totally worth the 10€ that it cost to get on.

My countdown to Christmas is now officially on! It's less than a month until I go back to Canada for two weeks over the holidays. I'm very excited to go home for a while. A real winter will be nice!
