Discover the Magic of Christmas in Alsace: A Fairytale Adventure from November 25 to January 6

Alsace, the land of fairy tales, opens its doors for a majestic Christmas celebration, running from November 25 to January 6. This period transforms the region into a magical place that I invite you to discover.

A Unique Christmas Experience

Rhineland tradition gives Christmas in Alsace a special place among the most enchanting times of the year. A soft, warm atmosphere pervades the area, accompanied by the delicate scent of spices and cinnamon. The streets sparkle with superb decorations and illuminations, creating a magical atmosphere throughout Alsace.

Strolling through the charming stalls of the Christmas markets, you can indulge in delicious specialities and comforting mulled wine. Talented craftsmen reveal their skills through delicate creations that make excellent gifts. Everywhere, the streets come alive, encouraging people to meet and socialize in the authentic spirit of Christmas.

An Abundance of Festivities

At Christmas, Alsace is transformed into a veritable paradise of festive entertainment, inviting everyone to experience unique emotions.

There’s the emotion of a concert, where voices and choirs warm hearts. The emotion of a gourmet break, where the scents and flavors of Christmas awaken the taste buds. And finally, the emotion of sharing, with tales of Alsatian myths and legends, centered around legendary characters such as Saint-Nicolas, Hans Trapp and Christkindel.

Christmas in Alsace promises a warm and authentic Christmas, a unique experience that I invite you to experience wholeheartedly.
