Instead of bringing their schoolboy son home for Christmas, a Scottish couple decide to join him in France and spend the winter holidays at Versailles. Mary Stuart Boyd describes the town and its shops, a French Christmas tree, New Year’s Day customs, an ice-bound season, and visits to the palace and the haunts of Marie Antoinette, with her husband’s illustrations.
