Cheeky Elves

I just love the effort the towns and villages put into producing their own unique Christmas decorations and scenery. We saw this amazing one in Châtillon the other day, which we did have a giggle about. My photo above looks very innocent, but Brian’s below shows a different side with a couple of cheeky elves - don’t you just love it.

Some of them just have so much care and work put into them, it’s so nice to see the communities coming together to produce such delightful little festive scenes.

I love this artic scene. I’m thinking we should do something like this for next year, maybe not on quite such a grand scale though. I just now need to convince Brian it’s a good idea, hopefully he won’t suggest just a squirrel - although it is cute!

These are the patisseries that we bought in Châtillon from Serge Barbier, they were absolutely delicious. Mine was a cassis mousse, which was full of fruit, Brian had a chocolate delice, which he loved. It’s good to know, that they do have a little tea room on the side of the patisserie which is quite unusual for France.
