Christmas in Saint Germain des Prés
Posté le 22 December 2014 by Marie

For Christmas, Villages Inside offers you an enchanted walk in Saint-Germain-des-Près… Imagine a beautiful Romanesque Church, at its side a Christmas market with small sheds painted white. Smoking waffles, the spices aromas from mulled wine spreading in the cold air, hanging garlands illuminating the streets lined with gourmet shops. Ones hurry to discover Arnaud Lahrer last wonder rue de Seine, a milk chocolate sleigh on an almond biscuit, crispy praline and dark chocolate 70% cacao. The connoisseurs will find a more contemporary log with raspberry, rose and litchi flavors at Pierre Hermé on rue Bonaparte. Christmas treats are everywhere: orangettes, orange slice blend in chocolate at Meert’s rue Guénégaud, fruit pastes at Hervé le Roux, rue Bourbon-le-Château and candied chestnuts at Debauve et Gallais, Marie-Antoinette’s royal chocolatier, rue des Saint-Pères.

A little further on, the upscale florist Flower welcomes the lovers and last minute shoppers can find their Christmas tree. To decorate it, they shall run to Flamant, place Furstemberg and get some glittery stars and balls. All this deserves a little break with a spicy hot chocolate at Un Dimanche à Paris. While you wait for the first snowflakes, why not going to Russia, at Peterhof Gallery, rue Bonaparte. A sculpted Santa Claus, hand-painted, could be just the gift you needed. Saint-Germain-des-Près just celebrated its thousand years; a great opportunity to rediscover this Parisian village adorned its finery!
