  père noel is watching. be naughty or nice with truffles, roar into the 20s or get marooned with these december picks:

truffe be told.
pierre herme is dreaming of a black christmas. the limited edition bûche de noel ($245) made with truffles, sweet biscuit and mascarpone cheese, is sure to be a sellout. it's avail only between 12 to 25 december, so be one of the wise men and order yours today. 72 rue bonaparte. at st. sulpice, 6e. 01.43.54.47.77. www.pierreherme.com


roaring 20s.
experience how the dames of the twenties roared at les anées folles (1919-1929). spend a 24-hour adventure in the company of a parisian lady as she smokes in public, drives a car and sports men's clothes at night. expect plenty of chanel, poiret and lanvin. musée galliera. 10 avenue pierre 1er de serb. near place rochambeau, 16e. 01.56.52.86.00. www.galliera.paris.fr


merc(i)e.
give thanks to the grand-père of avant-garde choreography merce cunningham. journey through his life in dance with pieces from 1960 to 2006. be moved by composer mikel rouse's sampling of john cage's piano music for his new score. from 4 to 9 decembre. at the theatre de la ville. 2 place de chatelet. near avenue victoria, 4e. www.theatredelaville.com


get marooned.
très sexy adam levine of maroon 5 will be melting parisian hearts this month. the rock crooner is singing faves like "this love" and "wake up call". selections from their third studio album "harder to breathe" will make you, well, breathless. at bercy. 8 boulevarde de bercy. near quai de bercy, 12e. 08.92.39.04.90. www.fnacspectacles.com


winter wonderland.
hit the ski slopes right in paris. the super pop rêves de neige is back. a surf simulator, a 70-meter-long ski slope, frozen waterfall and ice garden are among the things that will make snow bunnies out of the most urban diehards. from 22 decembre until 6 janvier. stade de france. www.stadedefrance.fr
