The atmosphere that reigns in the city is unique. The streets are adorned with their finest finery, the windows sparkle, the smells of cinnamon and spices evoke childhood memories, Christmas carols resound in the depths of the churches. The whole city turns into an enchanting setting
Christmas, like nowhere else...
For more than a month, Strasbourg has been enveloped in a festive and spiritual spirit that has hardly any equivalent in Europe.
Strasbourg, capital of Christmas enjoys an exceptional reputation. Each year, nearly two million visitors flock to the Alsatian capital to discover its wonders.
The Strasbourg Christmas Market extends over more than ten sites, all located within the Big Island.
During the four weeks of the Strasbourg Christmas market, as soon as night falls, the city is adorned with sublime illuminations that give it a magical dimension. The big fir tree, place Kléber, is the most beautiful expression of this. Thirty meters high, wonderfully decorated, it impresses with its presence and majesty. Symbol of an Alsatian tradition dating back five centuries, it is the ambassador of a city bathed in light.
The Christkindelsmärik, or "market of the child Jesus", is the name given in the Alsatian language to the traditional Christmas market which has been held since 1570 in Strasbourg, in Alsace, and which was for a long time the only one in France. It begins on the first Saturday of Advent and ends on the evening of December 24. The Christkindelsmärik attracts two million visitors from all over the world every year.
The origins :
Christmas Eve in Alsace - Christkindel and Hans Trapp coming to ask if the children have been good. (Theophile Schuler 1858)
The Christkindelsmärik in Strasbourg is one of the oldest Christmas markets, specific to the Germanic world. The most famous was that of Nuremberg, but those of Frankfurt, Dresden and Berlin were also very famous. In the Middle Ages, a market was organized in Strasbourg in anticipation of the feast of Saint Nicolas on December 6. It is indeed to this saint, bishop of Myra in Turkey in the 4th century, that the role of giver of gifts to children fell. assigned. To allow parents to obtain sweets and toys, a market, called in Alsatian “Klausemärik”, was set up a few days before this date.
