Noël in Strasbourg
Strasbourg was very festive in December. Not only had the Christmas markets been up since November, but there were decorations all around the city. We noticed the lights hanging over the streets first of all. One section of the city had these beautiful chandeliers hung inside huge lanterns. Not all the chandeliers were exactly alike, but all so beautiful!
One of the huge squares that was set up with Christmas markets, also had the normal fruit and vegetable markets, as well. And in this square, there was a tall Christmas tree, too! The tree was decorated all over with lights, and other decorations, and at the foot of the tree, there was a wonderful little village, all decorated as well. 
Here are some other decorations we saw as we wandered the streets, mostly sticking to the older, narrow streets without car traffic: a tree that looked like it was coming out of the side of a building, although, upon further inspection one could see the trunk of the tree hiding behind the restaurant sign, 
and some very decorated storefronts, this one was typical. 
My favorite, however, was this one: I loved the decoration above the door - especially the angel. And, even better, this one had delicious spice bread and cookies! 
It was a real treat for us to be in Strasbourg during Noël!
