Strasbourg

Going to Strasbourg during Christmas season is a unique experience – they have really nice Christmas markets there, everything is festively decorated and the architecture is beautiful to look at. It’s quite interesting that signs are bilingual – French and German, especially if you have been, like myself, in another part of France for a longer time and all of a sudden you start reading German street names again ;). The typical dish that you absolutely have to try is ‚Flammekueche‘, which is like a thin flatbread with cream cheese, ham and cheese or whatever ingredients you’d like to put on it. There are also some great shopping possibilities, tons of different shops where you can get practically everything. And we’ve also been to this one Christmas market where various European countries are represented and sell typical food or handcrafted products there – since they also had an Austrian stand, that was a chance to finally have some ‚Spaetzle‘ again…
