A magical event in the heart of the Christmas capital

Every year, as the festive season approaches, Strasbourg is transformed into a true Christmas fairy tale with its famous Christmas Market, also known as the Christkindelsmärik. Established in 1570, this market is the oldest in France and one of the most renowned in Europe, attracting visitors from all over the world to experience its unique magic. 

From late November until the end of December, the city is decked out in twinkling lights, enchanting decorations and a huge Christmas tree standing on Place Kléber. The streets of the historic centre are lined with hundreds of wooden chalets selling local crafts, Christmas decorations, Alsatian specialities and spiced mulled wine. 

To make the most of this magical atmosphere, choosing a Clévacances-certified holiday rental guarantees you a comfortable and authentic stay. Ideally located, our certified accommodation allows you to experience the hustle and bustle of the market whilst enjoying a peaceful setting where you can unwind after a day of festivities.
