Among the new pastry sensations of the year, Matthieu Pauline stands out for its refined creativity. The recently opened patisserie on Rue Cler in Paris’s 7th arrondissement unveils three exquisite 2025 Christmas logs, each available for pre-order until December 10, 2025.
Matthieu Pauline is the creation of pastry chefs Matthieu Turin and Pauline Zerouali, who met while working at the prestigious George V. After a decade running their upscale catering business, Matthieu & Pauline, they opened their dream patisserie in early 2025.
For their first holiday season, the duo offers three refined Yule logs that promise to delight both the eyes and the palate. Each dessert blends heritage and innovation, inspired by the founders’ personal histories and culinary roots.
Matthieu draws inspiration from his early days in Strasbourg, recalling the aromas and ambiance of Alsace’s Christmas markets. Pauline, born in Sweden, brings a touch of Nordic charm, inspired by the snowy landscapes and flavors of her homeland.
“These Christmas logs tell a beautiful story — two paths that crossed to create sweets blending their origins and traditions.”
With their 2025 Yule logs, Matthieu and Pauline redefine the art of French holiday desserts, offering a contemporary expression of timeless Christmas joy.
