Each year, his arrival at Place Kléber is a small event at the end of October.

For nearly two months, the Strasbourg Christmas tree, often around thirty meters high, was one of the attractions of the Christmas market in the Alsatian capital.

What visitor has never taken a small photo on their feet?

In 2020 again, the conifer should be the object of many flashes.

The new ecological mayor of Strasbourg announced it on Friday.

Jeanne Barseghian reiterated “her wish to see the traditional Christmas tree erected on Place Kléber, whatever the sanitary conditions in December.

The holding of the Christmas market is not guaranteed

One way to respond to the beginning of a controversy launched by the city councilor of Bordeaux and also a member of Europe Ecologie Les Verts (EELV), Pierre Hurmic.

Thursday evening, he had said to give up the traditional Christmas tree, "a dead tree", pointing out the ecological and economic costs of such an installation.

“More precise information on the Christmas market and the Christmas tree will be presented in the coming weeks,” added Jeanne Barseghian in a press release, without giving further details.

The holding of the 451st edition of the Christmas market is still not guaranteed, despite an opening date of November 28.
