Last night (Saturday Nov 24th) was the first night of the Marché de Noël! Every year in Strasbourg (and all over Alsace and Germany) each town has a Christmas Market. It is so neat! Each part of the city has a different market with handmade ornaments, decorations, and most importantly...food! They sell everything from candied apples to tarte flambés (like a really really thin pizza) to spiced wine. The atmosphere is great. I love just walking around looking at the lights and hearing the caroling. Next weekend we are going to a little city called Colmar which is about 1/2 hr south of Strasbourg to see their Marché de Noël as well!
The main tree in Place Kleber. It is absolutely
enormous! So many lights and such a beautiful
sight.
Angles by the Cathedral
Galeries Lafayette: A huge high end department
store in France (where I do most of my shopping!)
Market in Place Broglie (near to where
I will be living in the New Year!)
My future street! I'm moving here
in the New Year.
A traditional restaurant all dressed up for
Christmas. All the stores decorate for the
Marché de Noël.
Detail of same restaurant. The little people are
wearing traditional Alsatian costume.
