Joyeux Noel


Today we are starting on a long journey to spend Christmas in France. We leave this afternoon, fly to Toronto with a two hour stopover there, then fly overseas to Paris. After the overnight flight, we'll take a train to Lille.
The old city of Lille is magical at this time of year with Christmas markets in the city squares, a huge ferris wheel that reaches high enough into the sky to reveal magnificent views of the ancient city, colorful, musical, horse-laden carousels for the children, and chocolatiers' windows filled with the most amazing holiday creations - from chocolate Santas and Nativity scenes to other exquisite candy creations.
