Celebrating Life and Biodiversity

Nature in the Spotlight

In Strasbourg, Christmas also becomes an opportunity to take a thoughtful look at life and celebrate the richness of biodiversity. This year, the city offers a program that combines exhibitions, artistic installations, and thematic walks, inviting visitors to explore nature in all its forms and rediscover the city with curious and amazed eyes.
The Zoological Museum, recently reopened, becomes a key venue for this celebration of life. Its collections and newly renovated spaces allow visitors to understand the diversity of species and the importance of preserving our local and global ecosystems. Through educational workshops, encounters with naturalists, and immersive exhibitions, both young and old can learn about the observation and protection of wildlife and plant life.
City walks and green spaces, highlighted by artistic creations inspired by nature, offer a moment of meditation and wonder, where art, ecology, and scientific discovery come together. Strasbourg thus invites everyone to celebrate nature, raise awareness of its fragility, and marvel at its beauty, all while enjoying the magical atmosphere of the holiday season.
By combining Christmas lights, artistic creations, and ecological initiatives, Strasbourg transforms the city into a place where life and biodiversity take center stage, offering visitors a unique and responsible experience at the heart of Strasbourg, Capital of Christmas.
