I always know that winter has arrived here once the first Marrons Grillés stands start going up. These are roasted chestnuts, which I had never tasted before coming to France. They are great in winter, to buy a cornet to share with someone while Christmas shopping...Should we ever move back to the US, I will have to start doing this in the winters.
Sorry for the blurry picture.
Picture below on the Canebiere in Marseille. It is a small stand shaped like a train. There are numerous stands in Aix, but I haven't yet stopped for roasted chestnuts because the weather has been rainy and terrible.
Alain loves chestnut cream.I haven't actually started Christmas shopping yet, these pictures are from last year.

I am not much of a winter kind of gal, but roasted chestnuts are a wonderful part of winter. They just smell fantastic.
