The Alsatian town of Artolsheim has a tradition of staging a town-wide Christmas fair around mid-December and if you’re in the area it’s perhaps worth a detour to see. The fair has the atmosphere of a real community event with houses open for you to watch the preparation of gingerbread biscuits, local paintings, a crèche competition and (in 2007) a demonstration of traditional house building and agricultural work. There was even a recreation of the French defeat at Moscow in 1812 complete with a dead papier-mâché horse! There are numerous stops to drink “vin chaud” and eat traditional Alsatian cakes to fend off the cold and the fair is a refreshing change from the more commercial “Marché Noël” which you find in the region.
