Hello audience! As the dawning of Christmas is upon us, and I am currently living in Strasbourg, the home of all things Christmas-ey, or as they like to call it, 'The Capital of Xmas,' I thought I'd pop into town to take some pictures of La Marché de Noël.
Essentially it's everything you would expect from a typical French market. Mulled wine, pretzels, novelty hats, the real deal. I was lucky with the weather yesterday (when I took these photos) as it remained a clear sky, and fresh snow had settled everywhere the day before.
Let's crack on to the photo's of Strasbourg's Christmas market 2010!
