Christmas Markets
(Dec)
Almost all towns and cities, especially in Northern France, have their own Christmas Markets which are great fun and really worth visiting. The image above shows the market at Arras but there are equally fine events at Strasbourg, Lille, Colmar, Amiens, Reims, Metz, Mulhouse, Calais, Toulouse, Nice and Menton plus many others.
On offer are traditional crafts, local delicacies, and a magical, seasonal atmosphere with beautifully decorated stalls.
