Les traditions françaises de Noël

Here is another French tradition, the celebration of Christmas with music.

"The Advent wreath is made up of fir and pine tree branches for the first Sunday of Advent. It is traditionally knotted with beautiful red bows and decorated with pine or fir cones. The Advent wreath is topped by four candles, symbolising the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. Each candle is lit on each of the Sundays before Christmas." via - frenchmoments.eu

Advent Season (“L’Avent” in French)

Even with all the crazy recent events in Paris...take the time to remember about preparing
for and celebrating the upcoming Holiday Season, truly the Call of France.

"Advent (“L’Avent”, in French) is a time of waiting and preparing for Christmas. It lasts for four weeks, starting on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. ‘Advent’ derives from the Latin ‘adventus’ meaning “coming”. In Europe, November is the first month of the year when the weather is usually dark and cold." Source: frenchmoments.eu
