A season of celebrations in France

Let the festivities begin! Towns and villages are lit up to celebrate the end of the year. From the Christmas markets to the châteaux of the Loire Valley, from the mountains to the illuminated streets of Paris, the magic is happening all over France. It's a chance to rediscover local know-how and offer some fine French creations. When it comes to gastronomy, there are calissons from Provence, Basque chocolate, Alsatian gingerbread, champagne and the inevitable Yule log. Happy holidays in France!
