In Christmas week I was very excited to chat to Emily Gaudichon who has joined me for a petit papotage on the Loulabelle’s FrancoFiles podcast previously right back in episode 20.  Emily is on Instagram as The Real Emily in Paris. I've always wanted to go to France for Christmas so it was wonderful to chat to her and find out the low down for Christmas in Paris! 

Emily spoke about some of the traditions in France such as Christmas Eve being the biggest celebration and Santa coming that night. I loved hearing her chat about the decorations in all the stores and the famous Christmas markets. From what Emily says the photos I'm seeing on Instagram at the moment showing that every corner of Paris has been Christmas-ified is exactly what it feels like to her!

Now as I said to Emily I love Christmas and I love Christmas in Australia as to me it means time spent with my family. But I am longing to one day spend Christmas in France. After chatting to Emily I want to experience the lights and festivities in both Paris and the country French villages. I want to visit the Christmas markets and have mulled wine from a little caravan in les jardins!  In this gorgeous festive chat you can hear all about loads of these Chrissy French traditions and more.

There is so much on my Christmas list that I'd like to see and do when I eventually spend a Christmas in Paris or France, I may need to go back multiple times! For this year though I will make a mulled wine and dream of future Christmases en français!
