Christmas around Strasbourg
Christmas around Strasbourg
Christmas in the neighbourhoods
Strasbourg is not Capital of Christmas for nothing: as the holiday season approaches, the entire city upholds the tradition of sharing. Thus, while the bustling atmosphere of the historic centre remains vibrant, the different neighbourhoods of the city also take part in the event.
Chalets and Activities in the Neighbourhoods
Ampère, Neuhof-Meinau, Port du Rhin, Gare, Tribunal-Contades, Koenigshoffen, Esplanade, Robertsau… The neighbourhood life is transformed by the Christmas spirit for an afternoon, a day, or even an entire weekend.

The Tree of My Neighbourhood
Throughout the duration of Strasbourg Capital of Christmas, trees are installed in the heart of the neighbourhoods, ready to be decorated by children from schools, social and cultural centres, or by associations involved in neighbourhood life. These creations uphold the spirit of Christmas through collective and participatory workshops.
