the Festive Lights of Strasbourg


I have NEVER seen better Holiday lights and festivities than in Strasbourg France.
Most of the towns here in Europe have Christmas markets that are incredible! They have some of the same crap that you see everywhere but they also have some wonderful homemade crafts.



In Strasbourg they have full fledge crystal chandaliers hanging on one street to light the path from one market to the next and to put you into the holiday mood! WOW!
Nativity scene.

The Cathedral with angel lights leading the way.

What is really unique is that every "gateway" to the city has different lights and each area in town has a different "theme."




All in all, if you are lacking in Holiday spirit and or cheer, come to Strasbourg and have some Vin Chaud or Gluwein. I am going to make one last trip to the market tomorrow when the crowds from the weekend have gone home. : )
Happy Holidays!
