Winter is the best season, there's no question about it. It's the season forraclette and hot chocolate, tartiflette, Yule logs, oysters, mulled wine... Our taste buds are in heaven! And we don't worry about calories: in winter, we can follow each meal with a little skating session (figure skating or not, depending on your level).
Yes, during this end of the year and these frosty days, we warm up by doing pirouettes on the ice. To our great delight, manyice rink s are being set up in the towns and villages of Paris andÎle-de-France. In the Val d'Oise, several municipalities are offering activities around the ice rinks during the Christmas holidays.
