Discover the ancestral magic of Christmas
From Advent to Epiphany, a genuine Christmas thrill runs through Alsace. More than just a holiday season, Christmas is a tradition that has been anchored in Alsatian culture since the end of the 16th century. The festivities are not limited to Christmas markets: throughout the region, there are no less than 150 celebrations for the end of the year (markets, festivals, shows, songs, parties, etc.) and many traditional recipes to enjoy on this occasion.
