In Paris, the Christmas markets are a whole circus, and not just shiny garlands. The juggernaut of La Défense? An XXL winter village where people jostle for mulled wine and artisanal specialties, all under a fog of roasted chestnuts. 350 chalets, an outdoor ice rink (available from November 22) and enough twinkling lights to blind you.
As for food, we gorge ourselves on dripping raclettes, hot pretzels and waffles fresh from the iron, while the smell of cinnamon and mulled wine knocks you out with happiness. We stroll around, we fall for artisanal trinkets that we don't need to buy (but which we buy anyway), and we let ourselves be captivated by the decorations that transform the Parvis into a polar version of a nightclub.
And this year, room for a guest of honor at thesinging accent : Quebec! The city arrives with its boreal heat to wake up Parisians. With a mix of French, English, Irish and indigenous influences, Quebec promises a lifestyle inimitable between gastronomic tables, cultural scene and nature.
