Preparations for the Christmas Market in Strasbourg

It's the last Sunday of November. Autumn still has a few "representations" left but the new season is near and Strasbourg is getting ready for the opening of its famous annual Christmas Market. The little wooden houses are almost ready, the holiday lights in the streets are in place, the stores unveil their holiday window displays, the front of the houses and the big Christmas tree are being decorated as well. We took a walk to enjoy the silence of the city and the preparations before the grand opening, which will take place next Friday. Here are some photos:
