Now here's something to write home about: watch the City of Light come alive at Christmas time!
If there’s one thing loved by French natives and expats alike, it’s the famed French Christmas markets.
n total juxtaposition to the glamour of the season of Advent, I recently read about a rather controversial decision which would affect the capital – or a good 9.2 per cent of it this year, if the unemployment statistics are anything to go by. During my time in Paris, I remember noticing the stark and irrefutable presence of the city’s SDF (sans domicile fixe, or homeless).
Coming from the land of Santa Claus, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and Santa's little helpers, it was hard to imagine true Christmas could be found anywhere else...who knew what the French ate at their Christmas table?
Some of the weird and wonderful characters of Paris' shopfronts.
For the holidays, I created a realistic dialogue to introduce you to both the French traditions and precise vocabulary used in France around Christmas and the holidays. Pay close attention to the many uses of 'on'. Enjoy, and happy holidays!
