Brigat’ logs (l.) – Bachir logs (r.)

The Yule Log of yesteryear has changed a lot. It no longer systematically looks like a piece of wood cut in the forest. Because the creators of the Marais, like elves, have more than one trick up their sleeve. To the delight of our taste buds. The Marais Mood has selected ten to help you in the final stretch before the holidays.

pierre marcolini

Chocolate goldsmith, Pierre Marcolini guarantees a return to childhood with his stunning reinterpretation of the Oviedo log. Formally closer to the tube than to a log, the remarkable cake is made up of a hazelnut dacquoise (usually almond biscuit) with a vanilla crème brûlée, a crunch of caramelized hazelnuts and a sabayon of milk chocolate. Mmmm…

Price: €7,50 individual; €53 for 6 people.

Brigadier
Rectangular and minimalist, the logs from Brigat’ were to the delight of Marais Mood, who tasted two of them. One: pear mousse with pecan cream. The other: a creamy chestnut with mandarin marmalade topped with rose water jelly. It’s simple, balanced, relaxing. Less is more!

The Ice Cream Paris

We fell for the Fructus Alba log by David Wesmaël who was Meilleur Ouvrier de France (M.O.F.) – and it shows. This log is an iced Vacherin that combines Reunion vanilla ice cream with a fruity mango-passion fruit combo, all topped with French meringue and whipped cream. A tangy enchantment that accompanies digestion perfectly.

French Cabbage

A surprise log? Beneath its classic trappings, this exotic log amazes everyone. Under its light, frothy coconut coat hides a cracker éclair with banana, mango and passion fruit cream. All placed on a crispy white chocolate biscuit. Fruits are in the spotlight and take us on a delicious, sweet and creamy journey.

Bachir Ice Cream

Architectural, the log of this Lebanese ice cream parlor celebrates Paris with magical creations. Exit the cylindrical shape, and make way for the dome of Montmartre and the dome of the Opera. The house, however, remains faithful to its oriental roots. Thus the immaculate dome of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart is recreated in achta. A recipe based on milk, with orange blossom and coated with pistachio. The whole thing is topped with a white chocolate arrow. Magic.

Price: €64 for 6 to 8 people.

La Maison du Chocolat

With its trio of pear, chocolate and caramel, this snowy Christmas log produces an explosion of flavors. On its natural Genoa biscuit base flourishes a melting poached pear enhanced by intense chocolate. Then the praline with grilled corn chips and the crispy salty fried corn mixed with the creamy caramel also has its effect.

Price: €120 for 8 people.

Brothers wedding

The two Mariage Frères logs (house founded in 1854) studded with snow dots pay homage to sensuality. Thus her “dots” recall the famous polka dot dress of Marilyn Monroe in Seven Years of Reflection or Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. The intense red log is made up of a grand cru chocolate biscuit flavored with spices. Its crunch is caramelized with fleur de sel, flavored with bourbon vanilla and candied mandarins. The intense black log surprises with its chestnut cream base shaken by the fruity and floral notes of the brand's iconic tea: Marco Polo.

Price: €65 for 6 people.

House Mulot

It has everything to seduce, the log from Maison Mulot. A trio of elves speeding on their sleigh. The gourmet hats – made of macaron biscuit – are garnished with coconut mousse, with a caramel, passion fruit and lime center. Next comes the creamy sweetness of the mango flavor and the soft almond-tonka bean cookie.

Price: €90 for 6 to 8 people.
