In an Immaculate Forest where the Fir Trees sparkle under a Veil of Powdery Snow, a Mysterious Train winds between the Century-Old Trees. This is No Ordinary Train, but "The Train of Wonders", a Magical Convoy that passes only once a Year, on Christmas Night. It follows an Invisible Golden Thread, Woven by Time itself, connecting the Past to the Present, Memories to Promises.
On Board, each Carriage tells the Story of a Festive Moment, from the Table of Grand Reunions to the Sweet Treats that prolong the Season. Each Moment is designed to make the Magic of the Holidays shine, Day after Day.
From Christmas to Epiphany, Lenôtre takes Young and Old alike on a Gourmet Journey where each Dish, each Creation, celebrates the Art of Hosting and prolongs the Enchantment until the Last Wreaths of January.
From Christmas to Epiphany, Lenôtre takes Young and Old alike on a Gourmet Journey where each Dish, each Creation, celebrates the Art of Hosting and prolongs the Enchantment until the Last Wreaths of January.
"Conceived as a Joyful and Gourmet Journey, the Holiday Collection takes the Form of "The Wonder Train", this Unique Convoy that only passes on Christmas Night and whose each Carriage reveals a Festive Stopover."
"We shaped this Universe with the Marianne Guély Workshop, and it has inspired each of Our Creations. This Work is carried out by a Brigade of Chefs and Artisans made up of Passionate Women and Men, Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (Best Craftsmen of France) and a World Pastry Champion, who, like Santa's Elves, shape each Creation with a Single Goal: to make every Moment of the End-Of-Year Celebrations shine." Says Guy KRENZER (Lenôtre Creative Director - doubly sacred "Meilleur Ouvrier de France").

- The Wonder Train - Taking Young And Old On A Journey
"The Inspiration for this Signature Yule Log comes from the Christmas Tales I watch with my Daughters, those Moments when I see them marvel and when I too rediscover that Magic."
"This is how "The Wonder Train" was born, a Creation designed as a Journey to the Heart of the Holidays, with Comforting Flavors, those that bring People together and immediately evoke the Christmas Spirit. Its Creation requires True Teamwork: more than Fifty Chocolate Pieces, shaped and assembled One by One by Hand, bring this Creation to Life." says Etienne LEROY (World Pastry Champion and Lenôtre pastry Chef)
