Wrap up warm, or alternatively be sure to burn some calories feasting here and there on Alsatian ham, foie gras from south-western France and Savoyard cheeses, while browsing aisle after aisle of stalls at the Chatou Foire au Jambon. Who knows? Perhaps you can find that Louis XVIII footstool you've always lusted after...
