France: Strasbourg’s Flea Markets and Festivities

Travel
Written By Pauline Morrissey
 

Our first stop in France had us arrive at Strasbourg, dubbed their ‘capital of Christmas’.

While it certainly lived up to this title, we also fell in love with its multicultural dining scene, plus an op shop and vintage store game that resulted in our suitcases being kilos heavier.

Surprisingly, there were even flea markets scattered among streets, hands down one of my favourite things about French culture.

Celebrating the season in Strasbourg, France's most festive city.

As Christmas approached, Strasbourg's festive displays brought magical warmth to chilly winter days.
