A beautifully presented book that will make the ideal gift and help readers celebrate Christmas a la Francaise. A French Christmas introduces readers to the festive season customs and traditions respected in France today - from the feast day of Saint Nicholas (6 December) celebrated in the north of France, to the grand reveillon (Christmas Eve supper) enjoyed in Paris, to the close of the French festive season (6 January) with La Fete des Rois (the Feast of Kings). Stunning full-colour images highlight some of the glorious sights, Christmas markets and decorations found in France at Christmastime.
