A little? A lot? No, passionately! That's how you pluck the petals off a daisy when you're a child, but here, the final word is inevitably... apotheosis. The ultra-talented pastry chef Nina Métayer is launching her artisan chocolate shop in the most chic of Parisian department stores, La Samaritaine. In this setting, somewhere between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, she has designed a stand called Destination, a mini first-class carriage as a mobile showcase for her creations: small treats that are easy to take away, even (very) far away, and which taste like our childhood memories... Sculpted bars, chocolate bars, travel cakes, everything is good enough to eat. In particular, the generous Marguerite, filled with popcorn praline and creamy salted butter caramel, coated with a thin layer of 70% Saint-Domingue grand cru chocolate.
Specifications: 85g, 15€
Available at Destination, the Nina Métayer corner located on the ground floor of La Samaritaine Pont-Neuf

Giftshop is a young souvenir publishing house that celebrates Parisian institutions like no other. For Christmas, the brand founded by Julien Pham and Mathieu Lebreton has teamed up with gourmet brand A La Mère de Famille for a beautiful collaboration.
We've selected this thick sleeveless jacket to keep you warm this winter, although in reality, all 25 items designed by these versatile creators (T-shirts, pins, bandanas, teddy bears, cargo bikes and skateboards) are ultra-cool gifts! The jacket is also a nod to the cult film Back to the Future, worn by Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox).
Available at the chocolate shop A La Mère de Famille and online
Whoever said that diamonds last forever was right. Especially when the diamond is attached to a bracelet that speaks of a place or a connection. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Redline has introduced the "Been There" bracelet as part of their "diamond on a thread" concept. With their signature red thread, to be exact. Choose from three styles: thread-mounted, half-thread half-chain, or entirely chain-mounted; each one engraved with a Redline city that has shaped the brand's vision. But be quick! Only twenty of each available during this exclusive collaboration with Galeries Lafayette.
Prices range from €810 to €990.

Exclusively available at the Bristol Paris boutique, located in the hotel's main lobby, you'll find 1,000 unique treasures, including this brand new Cluedo game to celebrate the palace's 100th anniversary. Published by Hasbro, this bespoke Cluedo game is not set in an English manor house. Of course, there is no perfect crime within the walls of the palace, as the whole game revolves around the disappearance of Socrates, the palace's adorable cat (who really exists!). So who should you believe? Nadège Dubalais, the perfectionist maid? Dorothy Eagleheart, the slightly cheeky American guest? Should we look in Epicure's kitchen or the manager's office?

This Italian brioche is becoming increasingly popular in Paris during the festive season... It comes in a variety of flavours (pistachio, chocolate, orange, etc.). But it must be said that this one was created under a very special sign: signed by Petrossian, the great Parisian caviar and luxury goods house, it is made from a sweet and savoury recipe with black truffles (Tuber melanosporum of European origin) and sprinkled with truffled farmhouse Gouda. What's more, it is made using natural yeast by the undisputed master of panettone in Paris, baker and pastry chef Christophe Louie.
