An old German carol everyone knows as O Tannenbaum is sung here in French by the wonderful Tino Rossi. The French version - Mon Beau Sapin (My Beautiful Evergreen) pays homage to the eternal unchanging beauty of the tree that does not lose its adornements when the cold comes. Unfortunately the unimaginative video is nowhere near the qualitative equal of the song. So just listen. The French lyrics are...
The third installment this year’s Advent Odyssey comes from La France (obvs). Petit Papa Noel is linked inextricably with Tino Rossi in the way that Je Ne Regrette Rien belongs to Edith Piaf.

If you wish to go for some free tango dancing , you can do it every evening, as long as the the weather is warm and nice. It takes place in open air on Quai (or Port) Saint Bernhard, Place Tino Rossi. It has been going on for some 10 or 15 years.

It's a beautiful Christmas night and the snow spreads its...

Yet people sometimes take advantage of you in spite of your intuition. You are sensitive and easily offended. Perhaps being easily offended is why there is nobody here in the book, for this date. You may choose...
