According to Lionel, we hear far too much about Charlie Hebdo and not enough about Le Canard Enchaîné, which is about to celebrate its centenary in 2016. This quality satirical newspaper is in a similar vein to Charlie Hebdo. Both papers even shared the same cartoonist, Cabu, who sadly did not survive the January attack on Charlie Hebdo. Le Canard Enchaîné was no stranger to extremist threats either.

Take a stroll with Daniel Benchimol through Georges Brassens Park, built on the site of the former Vaugirard slaughterhouses. The park includes one of Paris's many jardins pédagogiques (educational gardens) run by local schoolchildren. It's also a few steps away from the famous artists' colony known as La Ruche (The Beehive).

The traditional spruce tree of many French people's childhoods is still going strong, but the Nordmann fir has gained popularity. Species of trees with a bluish tinge or a nice pine tree fragrance are also available.

Daniel Benchimol braves the freezing temperature to show us around the beautiful medieval town of Gisors in the Vexin region in the north of France.
