that you have to engage your table a
long time in advance and pay supple

benefit of the proprietor-in other words,
that it is no different from what it is

But the real French Christmas is quite
a different matter. There are customs
which have survived for centuries and
which make the holidays in France So

agnostcs who are interested in music

But there is another custom which is
perhaps the most unique and the most

observances excepting the m dnight mass.
1t has nothing to do with the religious

1t is the "baraques'' or tradins, booths
