Celebrate the holidays without the logistics

The holiday season in France—mid-December through early January—is when cities glow, markets bustle and luxury travel demand surges. Whether you plan to explore Paris’s iconic markets and festive window displays, ring in the New Year on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, admire Lyon’s illuminations, or ski the Alps, travel logistics can be the difference between a magical trip and a stressful one.

OuiStars specializes in high-touch chauffeur and transfer services across France. Our winter holiday packages combine punctual airport pickups, VIP New Year’s transfers, and secure ski-resort logistics so you can focus on celebrations—not traffic, parking or frozen luggage compartments.

Top festive destinations & what to expect

Paris — Christmas markets, luxury shopping & New Year on the Champs-Élysées

Paris lights up with markets at La Défense, Les Tuileries, and neighborhood markets in Saint-Germain and Montmartre. Luxury shoppers flock to Galeries Lafayette and Le Bon Marché for festive displays. New Year’s Eve gatherings center on the Champs-Élysées and viewpoints near the Eiffel Tower — events that require timely, discreet arrival and departure plans.

Nice & the Côte d’Azur — milder winter, seaside celebrations

The French Riviera remains lively over the holidays. Nice hosts promenades and fireworks; private yachts and VIP parties around Monaco and Antibes are common. The mild climate is ideal for guests who prefer seaside celebrations and private seaside transfers.

Lyon — illuminations and culinary holidays

Lyon’s streets glow during its winter illumination displays. Combine festive lights with a gastronomic itinerary—our chauffeurs navigate narrow historic streets and secure table transfers to top restaurants for memorable holiday dinners.

French Alps — Courchevel, Chamonix, Méribel, Val d’Isère (ski transfers)

Ski resorts see strong demand for private transfers from Geneva, Lyon or Grenoble. OuiStars offers heated, luggage-capable vehicles and drivers experienced with mountain routes, snow chains and winter road conditions.

Practical tips for holiday bookings

1. Book early (now): December and New Year slots fill quickly — reserve your vehicle as soon as dates are fixed.
2. Provide flight & hotel details: earlier sharing of arrival times helps chauffeurs monitor flights and avoid missed pickups.
3. Allow buffer time: heavy traffic and security zones can cause delays around major landmarks.
4. Request winter-ready vehicles: for Alps transfers ask for snow-equipped cars and extra luggage capacity for skis/snowboards.
