L'automne se pare de brume. Bientôt sa crinière ardente se dérobe à notre regard. L'or cède sa place au nacre, l'ambre se réveille diamant. Une fois l'effeuillage terminé, la symphonie de l'arrière-saison s'évanouit. Règne alors le silence hivernal, qui n'est pas véritablement silence mais sonate funèbre, guidant la marche solennelle et irrésistible de l'aquilon.

Washerwomen / 1 (Magical Characters of France.)

Herqueuche

is a Vosges character presented as a witch or a fairy. It is said that she sometimes appears at night, between Christmas and January 1st, under a bridge where she washes her clothes. The women say that Herqueuche came, invisible, to help the washerwomen hit the laundry in the stream, but that we must be careful not to go to wakes at these times if we do not want to be scratched in the face by her sharp nails. Later she was described as an evil old woman. “Tall, stiff, dry, toothless, hiding her hairless head under a large straw hat and her emaciated body under filthy rags”, she came to punish those who did not respect certain rites linked to Christian festivals. (And it is because of Herqueuche that doing laundry on All Saints' Day brings bad luck, as well as baking bread between Christmas and New Year's Day.)

Vosges Haut-Chocolat

This is my favorite chocolate brand. If you have a sweet tooth and love good chocolates, I definitely recommend giving it a try. You'll understand why it's my favorite. As a self-professed chocolate enthusiast. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

“Can I come back and see you sometime?" "Long as you bring me some chocolate," Gramma said, and smiled. "I'm partial to chocolate." "Gramma, you're diabetic." "I'm old, girl. Gonna die of something. Might as well be chocolate.” ― Rachel Caine, The Dead Girls' Dance
