If you could make the quaint French town where Belle, from Beauty and the Beast, appears in real life – Strasbourg France would be the closest thing to that. Homes built with half-timbered facades, and steeply pitched roofs reminded me of gingerbread houses in a way. The romantic feeling of walking the Ill River is just as enchanting in winter with the Christmas lights as in the summer when flowers and trees are in full bloom. The quiet lull of the water rushing around the former mill homes, and the locks lazily opening for the famous Strasbourg boat tours – it is hard to not feel relaxed and enthralled by the place. Then you catch a myriad of delicious French-German-inspired cuisine wafting from the 10 different Christmas markets and everything you could want from a vacation makes a smile burst across your face. Here is your guide to the best things to see in Strasbourg France in Winter.
