How To Spend Thanksgiving in Paris In 2023

Sean Finelli Last Updated: November 14, 2022

Looking to celebrate Thanksgiving in the most traditional way possible while visiting Paris? Though the cuisine in Paris is delicious, Thanksgiving isn’t really Thanksgiving without the traditional carb-filled meal. Even if you’re in Paris during the holiday, you shouldn’t have to miss out on your fall feast.  So, we’ve decided to put together the perfect guide for spending Thanksgiving in Paris. 


Pro Tip: Planning a holiday to Paris are you? Bookmark this post in your browser in a “Paris” folder along with our post on what not to miss at the Louvre museum. The folder can act as your virtual guidebook on the go! 

Also, its great to wander around and pop sit for a coffee but you’re going to want some structure to your trip.  Check out our best guided tours to take in Paris this way you can get the local perspective. 

Weather

Paris in the fall

Thanksgiving is actually a good time to visit Paris. Although the weather is cold, the city is far less crowded.

Also, prices go down in Paris during this time of the year, from accommodation to flights.

If you’re visiting Paris in November, then make sure to pack warm clothes. Temperatures can go from 42ºF to 50ºF (5-10ºC).

We suggest bringing gloves and an umbrella to ultra-prepare for any weather that might come your way.

 

Things to do

Although it may not be the perfect weather for enjoying outdoor activities, there are many things to do in Paris during November.

Visiting the world’s largest museum is one of them. The Louvre Museum is the perfect place to visit during colder days in Paris.

If you’re looking for the best way to visit the Louvre, join one of our expert guides on our Insightful Louvre Tour and follow them while they bring history back to life.

Dare to explore Paris’s undergrounds! The Paris Catacombs are one of the most interesting sights to visit in Paris.

Filled with bones from more than 6 million Parisians, these catacombs have many stories to tell.

They are known for their labyrinth-like tunnels. But don’t worry, our savvy guides will lead the way on our Paris catacombs tour and amaze you with stories that few may know!

Visit the Christmas lights on Champs-Elysées is always special. This year they’ll go up the day before Thanksgiving, so make sure to take a stroll through this Avenue and startle yourself with the beautiful illuminations.

If you’re visiting Paris during Christmas then don’t miss our post about things to do during Christmas in Paris.
