No chalets but ... still a Christmas tree, entertainment and lighting.
Strasbourg's Christmas market will be special this year, Mayor Jeanne Barseghian announced last Thursday.
The elected ecologist had also revealed that the famous conifer usually installed on Place Kléber would arrive on Monday, November 2 on its site.
This Monday, a first step took place.
The fir was cut in the Walscheid massif, in Moselle.
He is sixty years old, measures 30 meters and weighs 6.5 tonnes, detailed Guillaume Libsig, the pilot of the “Strasbourg, capital of Christmas” event.
"It was harvested at maturity and its departure participates in the sustainable management of forests provided by the National Forestry Office", added the deputy to the town hall.
