French Christmas Dinner

For those of you who wonder what the French eat for Christmas dinner, you can check out a small photo gallery here: http://bit.ly/ikkedl - warning, lots of raw food and snails

Now, it is not so easy to define a French Christmas dinner, though certainly most of the French we know have a mainly seafood dinner along with fois gras, a nice Chapon (or something similar), plenty of champagne and a great yuletide log.

Christmas Market

Well, they at least got the time of year right. And to be fair, the Christmas Market on the Champs Elysees looks pretty cool too. Our main problem is the price, everything seems to be way too expensive. Typical of Paris! Go take a look at our Champs Elysees Christmas Market photo gallery.

Let it Snow

France has had her fair share of snow recently. In Paris they even had to close the Eiffel Tower! We went out in that snow and took as many photos as we could before we were too cold and wet:)

Hidden Paris - A Paris Basement

We have added a superb virtual tour of typical Paris basement @http://www.parisbyphoto.com/hiddenparis/cave/

AR Drone Spotted Patrolling Paris' Business District

http://www.parisbyphoto.com/fun/ - A completely made up source, M. Henry Argent from Parrot, makers of the AR.Drone Quadricopter, confirmed today that in light of the recent financial scandal in the banking industry where losses of over 5 billion euros were blamed on a junior trader, they have extended the AR.Drone patrol to cover La Defense. M. Argent stated that “With the recent firmware upgrade we have added the undocumented feature of a trade vetting engine. This will ensure that no single trade above 10€ will be allowed, meaning that at no stage will any French bank be exposed to those ruthless markets with those nasty Anglo Saxons trying to rip us off”.

The Champs Elysées was turned into a farm yesterday, staying that way until today. The Young French Farmers Union (Jeunes agriculteurs) did this to highlight the need to buy French produce at a fair price. It cost 4.2 million Euros to do this. A fair price? Take a look at our pictures of the Champs Elysées as a farm on our new Champs Elysées page, part of Le Batobus Tour.
