From Christmas gourmet tour far away.

This tour should be called a chocolate tour. Not the Christmas was the focus but chocolate and tarts. One was led from shop to shop. Since St. Germain des Prés also has no Christmas Markets the theme was totally missed. The guide was nice but had to report too much of himself and his family in our view than to deal with Christmas traditions. But what else should he report about?
