Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris is bringing all the magic of Christmas Market in every detail. Snow-capped wooden chalets, an illuminated Ferris wheel (the inspiration for the Yule log by Pierre Hermé) and glittering trees have taken over its patio to recreate an enchanted winter wonderland.
The festivities include a Veuve Clicquot champagne tasting accompanied by tapas, and a gourmet chalet serving hot apple juice and mulled wine, as well as delicious crepes, waffles, toffee apples and traditional spit cakes. Lastly, a collection of iconic Royal Monceau objects can be found at this most elegant Parisian Christmas market. Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris will therefore delight the eyes and the taste buds this winter.
The magical experience can be enjoyed from 21 November 2019 to 15 February 2020, 7 days a week.

THE PERFECT WINTER BEAUTY ROUTINE
THE FIRST WINTER CHILLS CALL FOR REVITALISATION IN THE GENTLE AND CALM AMBIANCE OF MY BLEND BY CLARINS SPA
If there was ever a season conducive to pampering and relaxation, it’s winter. In the milky-white surroundings of Le Royal Monceau Spa, minds are calmed and bodies re- energised. This essential cold- weather protocol begins with a dry steam bath produced by volcanic rocks. Here, the muscles relax, the circulation is stimulated and toxins are removed as the sauna’s anti-stress properties begin to take effect. This is then followed by 1.5 hours of deep relaxation with the Royal Energy treatment. This signature Clarins protocol includes the use of natural, aromatic products, an energising massage, a scrub, and a soothing face mask. A comforting detox herbal tea brings this reviving moment to a fitting end.
