Strasbourg is a quaint French town in the Alsace region of France, and its medieval architecture offers a fairy-tale charm even before the decorations arrive. The market is famed for its traditional fragrant mulled wine, called vin chaud in France, and bredle, little Christmas biscuits, which you can sample while wandering through the 300 festive stalls set up for the winter season. This year will see the return of a thirty-meter Christmas Tree at Place Kl\u00e9ber, adorned with handmade decorations and illuminations, providing a focal point for the festivities. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-aglyls emevuu60\"><strong>Where to stay: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=127X1520752&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Ffr%2Fleonor-the-place-to-live.en-gb.html%3Faid%3D2070935%26label%3Deuropean-christmas-markets\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/leonor-the-place-to-live.en-gb.html?aid=2070935&amp;label=european-christmas-markets\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"L\u00c9ONOR H\u00f4tel\" data-vars-ga-product-id=\"fa6b76e6-16c3-42cc-be23-46e93bcb4625\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/leonor-the-place-to-live.en-gb.html?aid=2070935&amp;label=european-christmas-markets\" data-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/leonor-the-place-to-live.en-gb.html?aid=2070935&amp;label=european-christmas-markets\" data-affiliate=\"true\" data-affiliate-url=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=127X1520752&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Ffr%2Fleonor-the-place-to-live.en-gb.html%3Faid%3D2070935%26label%3Deuropean-christmas-markets\" data-affiliate-network=\"{&quot;afflink_redirect&quot;:&quot;\/_p\/afflink\/mXuI\/booking-hotel-leonor-the-place-to&quot;,&quot;site_id&quot;:&quot;e5d981ad-90f9-48da-9b3e-d0d4cf6fa28a&quot;,&quot;network&quot;:{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Skimlinks&quot;}}\" data-vars-ga-media-role=\"1\" data-vars-ga-media-type=\"Slide\" data-vars-ga-product-brand=\"king oscar\" data-vars-ga-product-price=\"$0.00\" data-vars-ga-product-retailer-id=\"afac5af7-b32f-4eb5-86ea-1ae49eb21a77\" data-vars-ga-product-sem3-brand=\"king oscar\" data-vars-ga-link-treatment=\"(not set) | (not set)\" class=\"body-link product-links css-4q9uji e1aq0z090\">L\u00c9ONOR H\u00f4tel<\/a> offers a cosy and luxurious bolthole in Strasbourg, and the Strasbourg Cathedral is easily reachable on foot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Where?
