Dear readers,
Take an enchanted break during Christmas time.
This week, we are staying in our Hexagon much larger than it seems, with the desire to capture the magic of the moment.
It does exist, even under health protocol.
Head for the already whitewashed mountain, the colorful markets or the ornate castles for a sweet part of daydreaming.
ALL OUR INSPIRATIONS
Christmas markets, our unmissable
The Christmas market in Montbéliard, in the Doubs.
Pays de Montbéliard Tourism
It has become a tradition and a real end-of-year tourist meeting.
Christmas markets are shining all over France, with promises that are sometimes poorly kept.
To make your choice, we have carefully selected them.
That of Strasbourg, of course.
The Alsatian capital remains the festive epicenter of this end of the year.
Our complete guide.
In Alsace, the Christmas markets of Kaysersberg or Eguisheim cultivate a rare authenticity.
In France, finally, this year we recommend those of Reims, Montbéliard, Toulouse, Evian or ... Royan.

Our beds are already covered in white and the flakes continue to tumble.
In the Pyrenees, the snowpack even reaches a thickness rarely seen in this period.
The big resorts are opening their ski slopes, a few Nordic areas too and the mountain villages are planning festivities to meet the expectations aroused by the reunion, after a last season marred by the virus.
