“He knows if you’ve been sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows if you’ve been bad or good so be good for goodness sake!” According to tradition, on Christmas Eve children leave their shoes by the fireplace filled with carrots and treats for Père Noël’s donkey, Gui (French for “Mistletoe”) before they go to bed. Rudolph is left at home, probably backup for Santa’s ride over North America. Father Christmas takes the offerings and, if the child has been good, leaves presents in their place. Presents are traditionally small enough to fit in the shoes; candy, money or small toys.

Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel to all our blog readers. Thank you for following along on our journey through the City of Light.

After the guillotining of Marie Antoinette, Robespierre, Madame du Barry, Louis XVI of France, Louis Phillips II, Duke of Orleans, Princess Elisabeth of France and thousands of others on this, La Place de la Concorde during the Reign of Terror (1793-94), these fountains were erected 50 years later commemorating France’s maritime industry. They frame the 3,000 year old obelisk.
