Mindy is ready to shop at Les Quatre Temps shopping center.Okay, so it's not really starting to look a lot like Christmas here, but we are seeing small signs that the festive season is just around the corner. Nothing like back in Canada where houses are decorated with lights and public walkways have Christmas decorations all over, but small discreet signs. This past Sunday, Scotland imported their weather to Paris as it was cold, windy, with lots of rain. In an effort to stay warm and dry (Mindy's favourite condition), we headed to La Defence and Les Quatre Temps shopping center. Of course, this being France, all the shops were closed. That didn't stop us from doing a little window shopping, stopping in at Starbucks, and finding the one store that was open (Castorama - French version of Canadian Tire). A low key day, but enjoyable day none the less.
Of course the Chanel hand bag was on full display as we checked out the Christmas decorations.
A large Chritmas market is being setup at La Defence with vendors coming from all over France to spread the Christmas specialties of their region. Picture taken on Monday...after the rain had stopped.
As Mindy savours her Starbucks, she contemplated what it would be like to take a bite out of the giant gingerbread man below.

that Christmas market looks like it would be interesting!
I notice another recurring theme (other than the Chanel bag) - that's the Starbucks beverage!!
