Greetings fellow FTers

I gather from the posts in this thread that most stores and restaurants will be closed on Chritmas Day, correct (what about Xmas Eve)? I'm asking because I will be in Paris with my wife and 3 daughters Decemebr 23rd to 27th. So, I'm hoping there will be places to go visit and not be stuck in the hotel.

Will some of the famous sites (i.e. lourves, notre dame, paris opera house, eiffel tower, etc.) be open?

I'm wondering if someone might have a weblink that they could post with general info, I looked o nthe paris links thread and really didn't see anything.

Thanks for any information
