If you happen to be in Paris and still want a "German" Christmas market, you just hop on the TGV at Gare de'l Est and you are in Strasbourg within 2 hours. It's 490 km! Thats 250km/h! Then if you also want to set foot in Germany just for fun, you hop on the tram and go to Kehl across the Rhine river.

Looks magical! I love spaetzle. Bacon sauce just sounds good! Never had it prepared that way. :) and that waffle! That really caught my eyes. l It was September when i was in Strasbourg. My grandpa had to make a pilgrimage to the cathedral. I remember him praying there. The people in charge of the cathedral were so generous they let me run around and explore while the adults prayed. My best memory was of a mime performing in the square. Your right. When i was there the food was very meh. We ended up stopping to a really neat indoor tennis center on the way back and ate pizza with octopus on it and watched people play tennis while we ate. But the Christmas markets look amazing. Very nice camera work too. Really captures the feeling. Thanks again sir. Have a Merry Christmas and happy New year!!! ❤️

I got a good laugh at that plastic cup. It shows a mix of Strasbourg cathedral and La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona!

Such a nice Christmas market! ❤ I went last year, but I had to head out before it got dark.

My family and I visited beautiful Strasbourg in the summer of 2025 and loved it. My wife and I were talking about visiting the Strasbourg Christmas market one of these days. Your video captured the food and charm of Strasbourg. You make all of the food look sumptuous. We can't wait to make a visit during this special time a reality. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and special time in Strasbourg. PS. Nice singing, and I enjoyed the Clark Griswald reference, lol.

Wow, such a beautifully decorated city. So bright and festive. The food looked awesome as well although it did seem that some would be hard to eat standing up. Hope we get to experience something like that someday. Thanks for sharing!
