These marchés are a special seasonal affaire that last all too short, but provide a nice traditional atmosphere right in the middle of town. The tradition originally comes from l’Europe centrale (Central Europe), and as such, the most famous marchés de Noël se trouvent en Alsace (are found in Alsace). But there are well known marchés all throughout France. Dans un marché de Noël you can buy all kinds of jouets (toys) and other petits cadeaux (small gifts), or for those older kids in the crowd, du vin chaud (mulled wine). The traditional shops line the streets, creating an outdoor mall, a real winter wonderland. While enjoying du vin chaud under des illuminations de Noël (Christmas lights), you might even catch un spectacle (a performance) or two. All in all, se promener dans (taking a walk in) un marché de Noël is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.
