Ok, this is a little old, but we did visit Chalons en Champagne in December 2011 to see the notable Christmas fair. There were some nice things on offer, at the usual "not knocked down at all" French prices. But one man was demonstrating French Canadian woodsman/tracker skills.

A woodsman's hut |
He set up a hut opposite the marie and lit his fire- a most remarkable method.
Take a look at the photo below. Then imagine starting by cutting the log with a chain saw cross-wise from the top. The fire is lit in the centre and burns inside!

A warm feeling inside |
It was a very welcome warm moment on a chilly day!
