They canceled Christmas

The mayor of Strasbourg, Madame Jeanne Barseghian, in view of the ever worsening pandemic in town, decided to reduce the yearly Christmas market to it's simplest expression: a big tree, lights, and not much else. No chalets, no market, no Vin Chaud... And many businesses going bankrupt.

It should have marked the 450th anniversary, uninterrupted since 1570 AD, even during wars.

1200 years

One more photo from my trip to Molsheim, 20 km away, last summer. Molsheim is a youngish town by european standards, barely 1200 years old.

No, they are some flowers and plant, seen last summer in the immediate surroundings.

Kehl am Rhein

Kehl, Germany, just a bridge away from Strasbourg.Often a part of Strasbourg, the city (approx. 36.000 inhabitants), became totally German last in 1953. A shopping town for us strasbourgeois, as many things are cheaper there: food, petrol, tobacco... It's about 17 mn from Strasbourg city centre by tramway.

More about it's chaotic history here.
