Mulled wine is sampled in front of the opera or the cathedral, arms are laden with hundreds of gifts and children are the centre of the celebrations. Strasbourg is seen as the undisputed capital of Christmas the world over.

At this time the city also shows its true face: that of a city that is both anchored in tradition, with a Christmas Market that is almost five centuries old, and a modern city capable of offering a wealth of activities, partly due to its concentrated network of associations; concerts, events for children and adults, guided tours, exhibitions, sporting or cultural events, etc.

Paris also features several Christmas markets, with most starting sometime between late November and early December. There, you can get an original taste of the City of Light in the Santa season. The Christmassy atmosphere is just wonderful in this city!
