On the whole, Christmas in Paris tends to be a rather low-key affair. The stores are not mobbed with shoppers frantically searching for last-minute Christmas gifts .

Paris and jazz have a history almost as long as jazz itself. Although jazz was born in the United States (arguably in New Orleans in the late 19th century), the form quickly spread to Europe, as many African-American “jazzmen” found that their brand of music was both taken more seriously and considered more acceptable across the ocean than...
