Strasbourg is reliving little by little. The city's famous Christmas Market, closed since Tuesday night's bombing, reopened on Friday morning. The approximately 300 chalets in the city center have started selling Christmas souvenirs, mulled wine and other local specialties such as "bredele". Despite the end of the stalking Cherif Chekatt, shot Thursday night by the police in the district of Neudorf, the attack that killed four is still on everyone's lips. And the aisles of the Christmas market remain under high surveillance, with an imposing law enforcement device.

Interior Minister Christophe Castaner met merchants and residents. "This Christmas market is our story, it's our common that belongs to all French," he said. @SEBASTIEN BOZON / AFP

The traders began selling pretzels and mulled wine again, the characteristic smell of which was spreading again in the alleys. @Charlotte Baechler / Europe 1
At the end of the afternoon, the crowd grew larger in Place Broglie, in the heart of Strasbourg. The Christmas market will be held until December 30, with enhanced security measures. @Charlotte Baechler / Europe 1
