Tonight was the start of the Christmas market in downtown Strasbourg. They expect 2 million people to visit the city from now until Christmas. This is the largest Christmas market in all of Europe.

We met Achards and walked to the stage where there was music entertainment until the the countdown to the lighting of the city.

The streets were all decorated in different themes. The street that has the Baccarat crystal shop on it has huge Baccarat crystal chandeliers hanging above the street. Gorgeous!

Justine, Taylor and Claire trying to keep warm! It snowed quite a bit today.

After enjoying the lights we all went to a restaurant outside of town that has the best tarte flambees.
