The Land of Christmas Trees is situated in the very heart of Alsace, close to the main tourist attractions. An evergreen tree, the fir tree certainly deserves its nickname as the king of the forests. The tradition of using a fir tree as a decoration dates back to the 16th century. The Humanist Library in Sélestat contains the first written reference to the sale of Christmas trees, dating from 1521. Since then, it has been a constant feature of Christmas time, and a wealth of lively traditions have grown up around it.
