Chocolate 🍫 Christmas 🎄

 

Yesterday was my ‘get out of jail free’ day

After mailing 📮 out the Croissant 🥐 letters,

And I took full advantage of every opportunity. 

What better way to start the day than with Angelina hot chocolate/chocolat chaud ☕️

I did not venture inside the madhouse, no matter how enticing.

Instead I headed to Artcurial auction house at Rond Point 

To view the first-ever auction of

Unique chocolate creations 

By 25 top French pastry chefs to raise funds, all proceeds to be donated to BAB Charity for children.

Created by Sebastien Bouillet est.4000€

It would be nice to take the occasional lick of one’s chocolate desk top when ever in the mood.

Chocolate table design by Pierre Hermé est. 4000€

Imagine company relaxing after dinner with a digestif and helping themselves to an after dinner bon bon from the coffee table….

The same with these convenient chocolates under glass.

Approximately 4000€

Pierre Hermé offered this strange sea-influenced sculpture 

Which reflects the theme in his Christmas collection windows.

The auction is Monday, 1 December at 8pm. You can still view these yummy chocolates today and tomorrow for free entry. 

From there I wandered around looking for festive windows…

Parfumeur Francis Kurkdjian has brought the snow ⛄️ 

And 🎄trees inside of his shop. 

Is this a bear 🐻 in Dior’s window?

Reflecting the facade decor?

Round the corner Chanel has gone sparkle-plenty ribbon 🎀

On 52, Champs-Elysées, Lancôme has reopened 

Their 🥀 cafe de la Rose again. Pastries are 16€

At this point I was ready to head home…

For a nice bowl of pumpkin soup 🥣 & a nap.
