I've come across a fair bit of information on the Christmas markets which is the main reason for going. The largest seems to be on the Champs-Élysées. There's also three at or very close to the Eiffel Tower and a couple around Montparnasse.

Is there a general rule as whether or not the Christmas markets will be open on Christmas Day itself or can I expect them to be closed.
