Cathedral - Cathedrale

We have a cathedral, NotreDame, Our Lady. This lady is exactly 1000 years old this year! A side chapel.

A symbol, un symbole

A pretzel, locally better known as bredschdel. Made here since the 12th century, at least.

De Christkindlsmarik

Did I already mention the Christmas market??? LOL! It's THE event of the year, after all! Animations for all ages are catered for.

Strass, c'est l'incontournable marche de Noel, ouvert a tous les ages!

Barbe a papa, cottoncandy

As spotted earlier this week, in front of the opera house, I saw it again on Sunday, in working order, but there were far too many people for a good photo. A brisk business!!!

445 years and counting... 445 ans deja!

Since 1670, we have the yearly chritmas market, one of the biggest in Europe, Chrstkindlsmarik in alsatian. The city center is worth seeing, some very original decorations...

Le marche de Noel, depuis 1670, excusez du peu. Le centre ville est tres tres decore!

La cigogne - Stork

The stork is the symbol of Alsace.  Well, we all came to this life carried by Air Cigogne, after all! No cabbages involved!

LE symbole de l'Alsace par excellence, avec une bretzel et un plat de choucroute!

Petite France

For this new blog of mine, I decided to be a little more artistic, using different programs and filters.
This is the area called Petite France, or little France, a UNESCO World Heritage site. More about it here. Incidentally, the town is 2027 years old...

Parti pris artistique pour ce nouveau blog, en utilisant les outils dont je dispose. La Petite France, quartier classe au Patrimoine Mondial de l'humanite par l'UNESCO depuis 1988, date du bimillenaire de la ville. Plus d'infos ici.

Flanerie

Flanerie: a leisurly stroll. Probably my favorite cafe, on the Ill river.
