For most people in this eastern part of
France, the end of November marks the beginning of a traditional festive
period. Young and old alike get caught up in the magic of Christmas. Life
takes on other colours and scents as towns put on their Christmas apparel.
Lights twinkle, city streets are bright with decorations and the famed
Christmas markets beckon you. A most pleasant way to do your Christmas
shopping; warm up on hot wine, sample ginger breads and cakes and choose
decorations and handicraft gifts.
