Christmas delicacies in Paris: three addresses for a refined Christmas

L’Hôtel L’Aventure imagines a playful and chic gourmet Advent calendar, La Maison du Caviar comes up with a unique sweet and savory version, while Thoumieux offers an intimate Christmas log in Paris, ideal for a tête-à-tête or a small gathering.
L’Aventure: a gourmet Advent calendar by Pierre Marcolini
Even before it opens at the end of January 2026,Hôtel L’Aventure is already slipping into Parisian lounges with its Aventure calendar. The Haussmann façade, pencilled in by Vincent Darré, is transformed into a doll’s house to be opened every day. Behind the 24 windows, Pierre Marcolini chocolates: pralines, ganaches, caramels, dark or milk, to be enjoyed at coffee time.
Available at €75 in a limited edition of 100, this gourmet Paris Advent calendar ticks all the boxes: decorative object, renowned chocolatier, easy-to-give gift format. Perfect for a friend who loves beautiful hotels, an urban couple or for yourself, in anticipation of the festive season.
L’Aventure has also teamed up with Lola James Harper for a candle with notes of wood, spices and flowers, which makes a lovely addition to a gourmet Christmas gift.
La Maison du Caviar: the most desirable sweet and savoury Advent calendar
For those looking for a gastronomic Advent calendar in Paris, head for La Maison du Caviar, a stone’s throw from the Champs-Élysées. The box contains twenty Pierre Marcolini chocolate sweets and four very special boxes: tokens to be exchanged for the house’s flagship products.
On the program: Baeri Prestige 30 g caviar with mother-of-pearl spoon, white tarama, truffle tarama, Norwegian smoked salmon and homemade blinis. Priced at €150 (25 copies only), this caviar and chocolate Advent calendar is the perfect answer to a specific desire: to offer a truly gourmet Parisian Christmas gift, combining chocolate, exceptional products and in-store experience.
Thoumieux: a Parisian Yule log for two, Santa Claus style
On the left bank, brasserie Thoumieux answers another question: where can you enjoy a Yule log in Paris without ordering a dessert for ten? Pastry chef Pauline Lehoux has created a Santa Claus log for one or two people, in the shape of a scarlet bonnet, including a white pompon.
Underneath, a comforting dessert: vanilla ganache, salted butter caramel, fleur de sel cookie and hazelnut dacquoise. Priced at €18, this individual Yule log lends itself equally well to a romantic dinner or an impromptu festive lunch, in the red and velvet ambiance of the house.
