Strasbourg Christmas Market Food You Must-Try

[@mothermayhem]

My ancestor is from Strasbourg, arrived in Canada 1751. Maybe someday I will visit, as this is beautiful!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

It's a truly beautiful city.

[@Dinki-Di]

This tour was so magical that I didn’t want it to end. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

So glad!

[@if4085]

My dear French people, We are a couple aged 42-43. I subscribed to your channel for a mini vacation in Paris... it was a dream, thanks to your vlogs I made the best decisions. Now I'm following you for the next mini winter vacation in Strasbourg. I like your presentations, you are exactly to my taste and understanding. I can even say that I love you🤗 and I was even thinking that maybe I will meet you in Paris. Thank you for what you do😊❤

[@greggross8856]

We flew into Paris CDG and caught the TGV from the airport into Strasburg, a beautiful 2-hour run. The Christmas markets are magical. Later we took a Strasbourg city bus across the Rhine into Kehl, Germany for a day trip. Love the Strasbourg trams, so easy to use and get around the whole city. One of the best European vacations we ever took.

[@klrm.p6985]

Merci Antoine et Coleen pour cette visite ! Strasbourg is my hometown and thanks to you, I feel as if I was there even though I live in Aix en Provence today. I'm touched and moved by your video. Greetings from Aix en Provence

Thank you for doing this video on Strasbourg. I've been to many places, but I find Strasbourg to be a major standout. Love the food, people and architecture. A cultural delight!

[@robertholmes6336]

We stayed over the Christmas period a few years ago and this has revived our memories will just have to go back fabulous place.

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

It has been on our bucket list since we moved here. It did not disappoint. Every turn was a new and wonderful delight.

🎄☃️Strasbourg & Colmar are the gems of the Alsace Region. Les Frenchies videos always highlight the best of the Christmas Holidays. Greetings from Mexico🇲🇽!

Ha oui, Colmar c'est vraiment très beau!

[@jean-lucfrotey7604]

merci le Mexicanos!

[@jolanda.c]

This is on my bucketlist. I live in the Netherlands, close to the German border. So every winter I visit a German christmasmarket. This one in Strasbourg is a great combination of German and French food and architecture.

[@dianaweimer872]

1:12 I agree about Trainline. Another great feature is that if your train is delayed and you are entitled a rebate it happens automatically. No forms required to get the rebate. Today our train to Paris from Strasbourg was over an hour late departing and we received a €29 rebate back onto our credit card. Love your info. So accurate and entertaining.

[@dianaweimer872]

2:04 Place Broglie had the best prices of all the vendors. I bought 12 ornaments and received a 30% discount.

[@Lioninthenight]

Speaking of charm, Colleen, you and Antoine are the epitome of charming!

[@annemorin5094]

OMG you two are so stinking cute! I'm binging your channel today. Love your content!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@sylviamatthee8172]

The food is sensational. I am salivating while watching.

[@matthieuappenzeller9244]

I was born near Strasbourg... 1. Glad you found Crémant d'Alsace instead of Champagne, that's local and as we say in Alsace "rather a good crémant than a bad champagne" 2. Among all the stuff you saw I would recommend the hand-made pottery coming from nearby (shop in the Rue des Frères) 3. The cruise is a good tip. One can quickly learn a lot about Strasbourg and I'm in love with the locks 4. Antoine I think you had a saucisse de Strasbourg and not a Frankfurter 😉 5. Some Christmas markets food is a bit too far from tradition imho but well at least the restaurants favour local economy, even for the water bottles (I saw "Celtic" and "Lisbeth") 6. I hope you had the possibility to enter the cathedral (highest building in... the world ! at the time)

[@mariondiemert430]

Straßburg and Colmar are by far my favorite cities in all of Europe. Thank you so much for spoiling my day.....everything looked so yummy!

[@maureeO]

I loved the charm and beauty here, and have so much fun watching you two. Sending love from the US❤️💚🎄

[@islandbreeze2102]

The best Strasbourg Christmas Market tour I’ve ever seen on KZbin. You guys are the bomb!! Loved everything: crocks for onions and garlic, your liveliness, the foods you ate zooming in on them to show us every detail, the choucroute restaurant, the Jambonneau and your excitement over it, the tarte aux myrtilles, and on and on. I wish the video did never end!! 🥰

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Thank you!

[@hahahappy07]

I was there in September and you made miss the place so much. 😭❤️ There is something about Strasbourg that’s unique and magical, and you can’t get enough of it!

[@latebloomerabroad]

Alsace is my favorite section of France but I haven't been to their Christmas markets yet, it's on my "to do" list. In the fall/winter, wherever I am in Europe, I drink a lot of glühwein/mulled wine/glögg, I love it! Choucroûte is good but I get tired of it after a couple of days, so I eat a lot of tartes flambées and then head to a nearby Germany town for schnitzel and roasted potatoes. I went to southern Alsace as part of my 6-month world trip last year and brought home some myrtille liqueur, it's a delightful taste.

[@ИринаПрусова-е3т]

Отличное видео!

[@jayceeloves]

This is now on our “when we retire” bucket list. Hubby and I are both music directors, and Christmas is one of our busiest seasons. We have to travel in the summer with all the rest of the tourists. But someday! Until then, you guys keep showing us these amazing places!

[@user-mp9tu6cp7d]

Thank you for bringing back memories of our visit last year. I'm going to have to plan another trip.However, you missed Mireille Oster which had the most amazing varieties of Pain d'epices. Our one regret was not buying more in their shop.

[@BeginnerPoleDancing]

Watched from beginning to end. You two are so warm and your joy of exploring France comes through. Thank you for taking us on this adventure!

[@max2950]

Hi from a proud Alsacian-Born 😃 6:15 forget about the champagne, Alsace has Crémant which is also a sparkling wine. Usually smaller cities in the wine areas of Alsace do feature wine, including crémant, on their Christmas market. Ha you finally found about Crémant a 18:12! If you come back during Christmas time, I recommend you to travel north to Wissembourg, especially when the Hans Trapp/Chriskindel Parade takes place.

[@siphonsnob]

It's tours like this that make me thankful that you are not vegans. Magnificent. I loved petite France architecture

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeffk5142]

I didn’t realize it’s only two hours by train from Paris. Thank you for this wonderfully informational, and delicious, tour.

[@annieoakley3516]

Such a beautiful video, bravi, Colleen and Antoine! Nothing beats the Christmas markets in Stsasbourg. Just one suggestion for your next time: the Alsatians accompany their choucroute with a glass of (not kidding) Riesling.

[@juliebabin]

I love your videos, how you love good quality food and how you describe it !! Thanks for letting us sharing it with you. P.S. This potato cake looks indecent

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

truly is 😋

Strasbourg is a gorgeous town. You’d be crooked too if you were a few centuries old!! 😂. Another beautiful episode! You two are wonderful hosts. I’m glad to see that you finally found some bubbles.

We were in Strasbourg this time a year ago and absolutely loved it. So glad you got to go to Le Meteor, I was in heaven there. We'll definitely be back.

[@Durga695]

What a wonderful tour of the markets and Strasbourg. Once upon a time, when I was 16 yrs old, my parents took me Strasbourg specifically to eat a Choux Croute at La Maison Kammerzell, visit some of Les Caves and eat wild boar dans les Vosges. I love your videos always giving a great taste of La France.

[@Itsmevictoire]

We leave in a week for a few weeks in Paris with a couple days in Strasbourg...We can't wait! We've been to Paris before, but have learned so much through your videos. Thank you, again. Merry Christmas!

Our pleasure!

[@pamelawing5747]

I love all the Christmas markets. I wish we had them in the US. It seems we don't really do Christmas anymore. It's just sad. In 2006 I was in Copenhagen and got to the market at Tivoli Gardens. So fun.

[@michellemobakeng5938]

They may be celebrating Christmas but it's Christmas without Christ since the majority of people have lost faith in God, do not attend church, don't know anything about the Bible and have their own truth(s).

[@Beth_Alice_Kaplan]

Oh and I watched the Bruges video; it made me want to revisit the Flanders region! (Ghent is a lovely city and also has canals with tour boats.)

[@robertmoore3192]

Strasbourg is the best! Your video is making me want to get on a plane immediately.

When we were planning our trip to Paris, I followed everything the Les Frenchies posted! Now that we are planning a Christmas Market trip next year, I was so excited to find this video. As with everything French, this video did not disappoint!!! Thanks Coleen and Antoine!!!

I was in Strasbourg for a cousin's wedding in 2017. It's a lovely city. Great bakeries everywhere! And yes, the crémant wine is as good as champagne!!

[@annakozoriz]

Bonjour guys. I love Strasbourg, my university friend lives in Strasbourg, I love to go each time there.

[@jeffcarrier7435]

Strasbourg is one of my favorite places to visit. The Christmas markets are amazing. It’s a little over a 1 hour ride from Basel SBB on a TER. I took my mom to the markets a few days after the terrorist attack in 2018. It was the safest place in Europe at the time. Cops were everywhere. I go to Strasbourg every time I visit Europe. Christmas is special.

[@carolmartin4413]

Sooo Awesome 🎄🎄🎄...what a beautiful, exciting city during the Christmas season! I know the trains throughout Europe are excellent but 150 euro ($163) for a two hour trip seems pricey. I take Amtrak Milwaukee to Chicago (hour and a half) for $38 RT! Must be missing something? At 6 minutes the endearing word 'champagne' appeared per Colleen's quintessential favorite. Alas..to paraphrase the late, great Jimmy Dugan...there's no champagne in Strasbourg! This is Alsace where bier and Riesling reign....that's not a bad thing, especially when coupled with the marvelous foods of a region co-parented by Germans and French. There isn't a food I would turn down! Waffles reign 😊 Hope you cover more cities decorated for the holiday season...Merry Christmas 🎄

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

The pricing definitely depends on demand and how far in advance you buy tix. You"can" get tickets to Strasbourg for 30€ if you buy way in advance... Same with Bordeaux, Lyon or Nice.

[@mikemchugh3073]

You had me at the assorted Bratwurst and sauerkraut meals, and THEN you end with that waffle with Nutella and all that Whip Cream!!! Lord have mercy! Merci!!

How did you like it? It is on the list of trips my husband and I plan to take in the next few years. How did you choose which itinerary? Thank you!!!

[@yaowsers77]

I think because it's the alsace region you're in, gluwein is the main Christmas market drink.

Yes, but I'm not a fan...

How wonderful!! I watched your Christmas Market tours last year & now I want to visit ALL of them, especially Strasbourg & Bruges; they do seem magical. You have turned my Bucket List into a Barrel! Merci! 🎄 🥂

[@jimhache765]

be careful what you wish for! I visited both London and Paris this year to see the markets and enjoy the ambiance (yes, based on last years videos). London really knows how to dress up for the Holidays and the stores are magical. That said, aside from Covent Gardens, the "markets" were touristy and very repetitive. Paris was lovely (though not nearly as dressed up as London)......but it was a sea of madness! I feel like half of Europe was there the same week i was....the stores were nice, but I felt like I was going to be in everyone's instagram video! Markets are OK (notre dame had not opened yet)....but again repetitive and could be visited in 10 minutes...... (though we did thoroughly enjoy Toulerries!) While it was a nice trip, I'll enjoy future markets via youtube videos.... :)

[@60clairedu]

Strasbourg is a beautiful city, and the different christmas markets are so numerous on every square there that they seem infinite! However, the Strasbourg Christmas markets are also very very crowded. I was a student there for 3 years, and when my parents came to visit me, we would go to the Maison Kammerzell restaurant (which serves delicious choucroute, including a succulent one with three types of fish instead of meats) or to the Le Dauphin restaurant, both on the place de la cathédrale. In both cases, it is very much advised to call and make a reservation beforehand.

[@jeanwhite2705]

THANK YOU Colleen and Antoine. We walked those streets and alleyways, and did the Batoboat and trains in October and loved seeing it all again at Christmas time. 💞💞💞. So. Loved this video!

Well guys you did a lot in two days. Strasbourg at Xmas is super! My first visit to Alsace-Lorraine was in 1982. Rented a car and drove from Colmar to Strasbourg, stopping in many small villages. This was a week tour & my first introduction to Alsatian food. The highlight of this trip to Alsace was dinner at the Michelin 3☆☆☆ L'Auberge de I'll! SUPER VIDEO!

[@351wmustanggt]

My wife and I spent 10 days in Kehl to see my Son and Grandson in 2022 during December. We also stayed in Strasbourg dur. We spent days in the Christmas market in Strasbourg along with Offenburg, Baden Baden and Kehl. Loved every minute of it especially Strasbourg. I had many of the foods you suggested and the experience is magical. Christmas in Europe is magical. We also spent two days and one night in Paris and to see the city of lights all dressed up for Christmas was awesome!

Frenchy expat in HK, from Moselle originally, but I studied in Strasbourg for 4 years, and visit every time I go back home. Thanks for this video, Alsace is such an underrated region, and Strasbourg around Christmas is absolutely fantastic. Great pick chosing Au Pont Corbeau, one of my favorite. Next time you are in town, you must go to Le Fossile, place des Orphelins (2mn from Au Pont Corbeau) , which for my money makes the best onglet a l'echalotte I have ever tried. As for how to describe the vibe and architecture you get in Strasbourg and many towns in Switzerland, Bayern, Austria, Czech Republic, the generic term would be "Mitteleuropa".
