Description
“Just five minutes,” Santa told the reindeer, and he climbed out onto the very top of the Eiffel Tower. Paris spread below him like a jewel box: the golden dome of Les Invalides, the lamps along every bridge, the glow of the Christmas markets on the Champs-Élysées. Somewhere a carousel was still turning. He breathed in the smell of roasted chestnuts drifting up from the street vendors and decided five minutes might become ten.
On the Pont d’Iéna, a girl in a red bonnet tugged her father’s sleeve and pointed, and he looked up just in time to see a tiny figure waving from the tower’s tip. This box keeps that magic alive, with Santa and the tower’s lacy ironwork shown in fine detail. Wrap it for a Francophile at Christmas, newlyweds whose honeymoon took them to Paris, or a collector who gathers holiday treasures from many countries. Place it near the tree, or on a mantel twined with fairy lights. Paris has never looked merrier.
