Christmas market of Montbeliard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Christmas market, located in Montb\u00e9liard, in the Doubs (East), consists of 150 chalets. You will certainly come across figures of tradition, such as that of Santa Claus of course, but also those, more regional, of Countess Henriette de Wurtemberg or Saint Nicolas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is one of the most famous Christmas markets in Alsace and one of the most beautiful in France. Finally one … it is more about four places of festivities that can be visited through a circuit, going from the Place Jeanne d’Arc (very focused on gastronomy) to the Place des Dominicains. There is also a lot of crafts, including beautiful wooden toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas market of Mulhouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the other Christmas markets in the region, that of Mulhouse is distinguished by the immense fabric that dresses the city center. In total, there is nearly 10 km of fabric! And it is even possible to buy creations made in it. Mulhouse also gives pride of place to creativity, with many clothing workshops. For the more athletic, an ephemeral ice rink is held at the zoo, and a 5km race takes place ten days before Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
