A highlight of Christmas meals, the traditional Yule log delights both young and old as soon as it is placed on the table. Luxury hotels, renowned pastry chefs, and famous boutiques unveil their sweet creations, as indulgent as they are stunning.
The Wooded Sculpture
Designed as a work combining woody textures and floral accents, the Yule log at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, created by Michael Bartocetti, evokes the sparkle of freshly fallen snow. Beneath its elegant exterior lie a cocoa–fleur de sel crunch, a delicate biscuit, hazelnut caramel, vanilla crème brûlée, and a light vanilla bavaroise.
Walnut and Barley
Composed of a crunchy walnut praline shortbread, barley biscuit, silky cream, walnut mousse, and flowing praline, the Grains d’orge & noix de Grenoble offers a delightful play of textures. Sprinkled with caramelized walnut pieces and topped with five golden praline-filled chocolates, this creation is signed by Jean-Julien Freydt alongside Michel and Sébastien Bras for La Halle aux Grains.
