A Parisian Icon Reimagined: The “Morris” Yule Log

Paris, winter 1900. Along the grand boulevards, elegant Morris columns display posters announcing the latest shows and performances. More than a century later, one of these iconic Parisian symbols leaves the streets of the capital to take centre stage at Café de la Paix.

For the festive season, Head Pastry Chef Simon Letaillieur pays tribute to this familiar feature of the Parisian landscape with a creation as beautiful as it is indulgent. With its distinctive cylindrical shape and design inspired by vintage posters, the “Morris” Yule Log captures the charm and elegance of the Belle Époque.

Inside, a French pastry classic is delicately reimagined: Poire Belle-Hélène. Soft madeleine sponge, vanilla-poached pear and light chocolate mousse come together in a harmonious blend of flavours, finished with a rich chocolate sauce.

A celebration of Parisian heritage and pastry craftsmanship, the “Morris” Yule Log brings a taste of Parisian history to the festive table.
