The mayor of Strasbourg, Jeanne Barseghian, underlined "the immense challenge of organizing this 2021 edition" at the time of the inauguration: "The Christmas market has continued to evolve and it is important to show that he can continue to reinvent himself.
"
His return has already delighted visitors, like Xavier and Marie-Noëlle, who came from Belgium for the occasion: “We are happy, because it gives you gaiety and it is the spirit of Christmas!
