10Strasbourg Christmas Market: The Capital of Noël

Strasbourg is widely known as the Capital of Christmas, and its market—dating back to 1570—is France’s most iconic. Nearly 300 wooden chalets spread across several squares, each filled with handmade ornaments, Alsatian pottery, artisanal candles, and traditional bredele biscuits. 

The towering Great Christmas Tree at Place Kléber is a spectacle on its own, glowing with thousands of lights. With its cathedral backdrop and medieval streets, Strasbourg delivers a fairy-tale Christmas like nowhere else in Europe.
