Our first stop of the day is Strasbourg, known as the Capital of Christmas and home to France’s oldest Christmas market. Here we can enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and explore the mesmerising blend of French and German styles of architecture on display, lit up with spectacular illuminations for the festive season.
Our next visit is the charming medieval town of Freiburg, a city full of beautiful, cobbled squares. The Freiburg Christmas Market is a highlight, offering a delightful array of festive stalls selling handmade crafts, traditional German treats and mulled wine.
Afterwards, we continue to our hotel in Oberharmersbach, where we spend the next three nights.
