Five wishing trees are set up in the ephemeral space of the Metropolitan Tourist Office. Young and old are invited to write a wish on the cards provided, then hang them on the tree’s decorated branches. Afterwards, everyone can take part in a draw for a chance to win a piece of arts and crafts created by local talents: CERFAV, Souffle de Vie and Anne Veyrier du Muraud. It’s a poetic, convivial experience that will make you believe in the magic of Saint Nicholas just a little longer!
