Strasbourg&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the many shops and businesses opening their doors to you, Strasbourg will be a source of wonder for your taste buds, especially if you plan to spend a little time in the various markets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While visiting the city, you will come across many chalets offering decorations, sculptures and delicacies to make you forget the great Alsatian cold.&nbsp;Here are some specialities not to be missed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The mulled wine.&nbsp;<\/strong>With its simple recipe (red and white wine with spices, sugar and citrus fruits), it is the essential drink of the Strasbourg Christmas market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Le Bredle<\/strong>.&nbsp;Another staple of Alsatian Christmases, this is a traditional little cake comes in a variety of flavours, including butter, anise, almonds and cinnamon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Christstolle<\/strong>.&nbsp;Another cake, but this time elongated and made with dried fruits and spices.&nbsp;A special treat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Mannele<\/strong>.&nbsp;A little man made of brioche and with dried fruit eyes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Christmas beer<\/strong>.&nbsp;Beer, in Alsace, is an institution, and at Christmas, it gains more amber flavours, for a more &#8220;robust&#8221; drink in order to face, with greed, the rigours of winter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, many activities and events are organized in Strasbourg during the Christmas holiday including walks with a night porter, guided tours to discover Christmas traditions, shows and workshops for children, and many conferences and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\"
