The magical christmas market in Wasselonne
Enjoy a festive atmosphere in medieval style in the courtyard of Wasselonne Castle. A chance to (re)discover the Christmas traditions of yesteryear! Over a weekend, we pay homage to the village's past and especially to the Middle Ages with a range of activities. Music, dancing, a living nativity scene, falconry demonstrations… You will be amazed at the rich and diverse programme each year.

At Christmas, everyone in Alsace enjoys the heady, delicate aroma blending ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and other spices. Traditional recipes recall childhood and all its good tastes, a custom continued year after year to preserve all the magic of Christmas. Special treats to try all through the festive period and share with your loved ones, ideally with a hot cup of mulled wine.
