Strasbourg, France.

After Basel we caught our train back to France and onto Strasbourg for the Xmas markets, they have been rated one of the best in Europe. The ride was less than 1 hour and two tram stops to our accomodation. Due to the shooting in Strasbourg, 4 days ago, at the Xmas markets, we could not get of at our designated stop,

We got of the tram at the first available stop, then had to go through security checks to get into the main part of town where the markets and our accomodation is located.
Our suitcases were checked then we head of to our air B&B, a good location in the heart of the markets. We dropped of the bags then off to explore all that Strasbourg has to offer.
First stop was lunch to sample the local dish, flammkucken, also known as a tarte flambé, it is a thin pizza base with creme freiche, onion and slices of cheese.

We of course had more mulled wine, I must say there has not been too many decorations that attract me, very hard not to convert back to our dollar and feel, I can get that cheaper at home, all the stuff is so repetitive, looking for the unusual. 

Strasbourg has the largest Xmas tree, over 30mtrs tall, 7 ton and a 12mtr span

 After an enjoyable evening at the markets, we retired back to our accomodation, the next morning we woke to snow, much to the kids delight.
