Marche de Noel (Christmas Market), Strasbourg
Here's a snippet of the very huge yet groundbreaking Marche de Noel. For more information on this tradition and my experience with it in Strasbourg, please refer back to "My 21st Birthday and New Years in Strasbourg" but also "Day Trip to Monaco/Monte Carlo" and even "Two Days in Disneyland Paris" for a more modern, child friendly interpretation of this nation-wide, classic tradition. Note that any Marche de Noel is family friendly, it's just that they don't normally sell toys, normally decorative arts and clothing accessory items.
