About how they meet New Year in Strasbourg, the capital of Christmas markets, fairs, the lack of New Year's festive food, endless mulled wine and home-party students from France Anna Demchenko.
Anticipation of Christmas and New Year
New Year-christmas feelings appear from the moment of the decoration of the city. Strasbourg is considered the "Capital of Christmas Markets" (Capital of Christmas Markets), which begin a month before the New Year, when absolutely the whole city turns into a real fairy tale. Preparation for this event begins with the end of October, including New Year's beauty on the square. So the feeling that the holidays soon begin with the beginning of this preparation itself. But there is a small minus!
All scenery are removed immediately after the new year. That is, if in Ukraine there are a year-old decorations hang another week 2, then they are cleaned literally the next day. And catastrophically lacking snow.
Local christmas customs
There is a cute traditional trifle here - to go to one of the Christmas markets and drink hot wine (white, red or just well, very sweet apple Uzvar).
Folk festivities on the streets (fairs and concerts)
Folk walking here are incredibly large-scale. Considering that Strasbourg is of particular fame in the field of Christmas trading (again, markets) come here from all over the world to have time to try festive Schukrut and Tart Flambe, to warm up hot wine and, of course, where without the most famous pancakes with Nutella and other all kinds Sturines that they are Milenko called CRPPs. At the time of the Christmas market, you can completely forget about the bike as about the movement agent, since at this time it is hard to move even on foot. On the central Square 2 weeks before Christmas plays live music different countries. From my favorites - playing at Volyn!
Local special New Year's dishes
Once I witnessed the dialogue of two Madame (French and Italian). The Italian asked the Frenchwoman the question, as you get to stay so slender and happy that the Frenchwoman replied: "In the morning, the cupcake, and in the evening - sex." Well, yes, the phrase is a little pop, but I am surprised by how they manage to keep such forms, using an incredible amount of food.
The French has no New Year's dishes, for them - every day holiday. I have not seen in my life so that the person treats so passionately to the meal. To talk about food, they may not ceasing and (how they love to joke about themselves), they talk about food, while eating! ("WE TALK ABOUT FOOD WHILE Eating" - so in the original I told me my scientific leader).
The most beloved dishes of my region (Alzas) - Fish Shukrut, Tartflambe, Tiramisu. Drink necessarily White Alzass Hemertsraminer (each in his own way pronounces it). And, of course, cheese! All sorts of fragrant and stinky.
Establishment
New year here are celebrated at parties, anywhere! On the square it is not accepted, maybe due to the fact that the city is small.
The variety and colorful of local clubs always struck me! They are very strange and very simple. I can only advise the Latin bar, which is in the old small ship. He is decorated with Christmas lights round yearMusic in it all the time is the same and loud, but the mood is always healthy. There we usually go for a couple of hours to dance after the home parties, which are more popular here than clubs.
Think about where to spend new Year's vacation? There is an idea! For this purpose, Strasbourg will be perfect.
Strasbourg is the capital of the Grand Est region in the north-east of France, including Alsace, Champagne, Ardennes and Lorraine, and the meeting place of the European Parliament. The city is located near the border with Germany, therefore it was influenced by his culture and architecture both French and German traditions. The Strasbourg Cathedral in the Gothic style is famous for its astronomical clock, in which the figures of Jesus Christ and the Apostles are moving daily, and a 142 meter height spire, from the central part of which is a stunning view of the Rhine River.
Strasbourg is rightfully considered the capital of Christmas. Fortunately, during the Christmas holidays at the end of December there was a chance to visit me. I saw a fairy tale with my own eyes, after all, such an atmosphere is only once a year))
There were a lot of tourists, despite cold weather (more precisely, all this time blew a very cold wind, without a hat, scarf and gloves are better not to go out. Temperature can be deceptive, sort of like it is not low, but the wind makes his black business)) ). In the pre-New Year period in all parts of the city, Christmas bazaars are made in all parts of the city, where you can buy everything: from lollipops to dishes, and also, naturally, take a glass of mulled wine to warm up.
The city is very clean and cozy, especially "Little France" with all its cute cafes, "gingerbread" houses, narrow dotted streets.
I strongly advise you to make a cruise on the ship before the European Parliament itself (yes, the boats there are heated)))), having listened to the audio guide interesting Facts From the history of this famous ancient city.
And you must taste the local cuisine!
I highly recommend visitors this city, especially during the Catholic Christmas and New Year. Your eyes are visible original, intricate decorations on the "gingerbread" houses (everyone tries, as can)), numerous cozy cafes with excellent cuisine, bright light shows.
