Strasbourg: the oldest Christmas market in France

Ever since 1570, each year Strasbourg has hosted its Christmas market, the famous "Christkindelsmärik", making this the oldest Christmas market in France! The magic really begins in the late afternoon as evening falls. The windows sparkle with their Christmas lights, the facades are brought to life by the decorations and the streets are filled with the delicious aromas of spices and cinnamon. In Place Kléber, the huge Christmas tree erected there from mid-November onwards never fails to delight strollers.
