Confirming meals before you leave
If you want to go to a restaurant on the evening of the 24th or on the 25th, contact the establishments and ask about their exact offer. Check the time, the price, the menu for children and the booking conditions.
A table that is open during the month of December is not necessarily open for every Christmas service. An old festive menu does not confirm this year's offer either.
Preparing the groceries if needed
For a meal at the apartment, examine the available amenities: cooking, refrigeration, crockery and space at the table. Adapt the menu to what is actually advertised.
Find out about the shops and their specific opening times on 24 December. A solution bought or ordered in advance may be more comfortable than a last-minute search.
Keeping a simple outdoor programme
A walk can fill part of the day, depending on the weather and the access. Choose a short route, then keep a free moment.
Do not assume that museums, villages or shows keep their usual times on 25 December. Check with each organiser before heading out.
Organising arrival and departure
Confirm the access arrangements for the accommodation and keep the information sent to you. If you come by train or use local transport, check the exact service for the day.
For the accommodation, choose the beds and amenities that match your group, without confusing the number of people allowed with permission to invite others.
