Paris at Christmas time… Ooo-la-la!

On Saturday, December 10, take a musical tour of Paris with your guide Noël Samyn for an evening of song in Si Paris m’était chanté. Noël is joined by Laurie Rosewarne (accordeon) and Daniel Berriault (bass) to meander Montmartre and mingle in Montparnasse with the romantic and nostalgic songs of the city of light. La Grange de la Gatineau will be dressed up for the season with a towering Christmas tree and the crackling fireplace to make this two-century-old log house all the more cozy and charming. Come just to enjoy the concert, or give yourself an added treat with an exquisite three course pre-show dinner.

During the show, La Grange de la Gatineau will unveil its concerts for the coming season. You’ll be the first to find out all the details and have the chance to get the best seats for our popular concerts, beginning in January. Or you can even do a little Christmas shopping and offer the gift of tickets to concerts at La Grange de la Gatineau.
