If the past two weeks weren't enough an indication, this weekend cinches it: The holiday rush is on. Even when we thought we'd collected just about every artisan market for gift ideas, we're still finding out about and adding new ones. To top it all off, more and more pop-ups featuring everything from holiday menus, piles of panettone, and red 'n' green cocktails are flowing in.
And now, Quartier des Spectacles not only has its massive Christmas market up and running, but Lumino (aka Luminothérapie) fires up this weekend.
As you read through this weekend's edition of the Bulletin, there's tons to explore, and if you're someone who wants nothing to do with all the decorations, shopping, and festivities around this time of year?
