Christmas in Alsace

Markets in their Hundreds

Not a single town, not one village or club without its Christmas market ! In prettily decorated cabins, craftsmen sell lovely decorations for the year's most wonderful celebration, original gift ideas, culinary specialities. An aroma of spices lingers in the air, visitors and locals happily come together over a glass of mulled wine in the enchanting atmosphere of the Christmas illuminations.

Though the main ingredients are the same at every market, they are none the less all different.

It's impossible to list them all ! Here are some not to be missed and our personal favourites.
