Next, you'll have the chance to sample traditional Alsatian cookies, complimentary of course, at the subsequent Christmas market in Place Saint-Thomas. The adventure continues to Place Marché-aux-Poissons, where a bakery awaits your visit. Witness bakers preparing their goods right before your eyes and learn about the variety of products found across all the markets you'll explore.
As a treat, savour a warming beverage of your choice while admiring the Palais de Rohan. The tour then proceeds to the Christmas market nestled in Place de la Cathédrale. You'll traverse this market en route to Carré d'Or on rue des Orfèvres. This street is adorned with twinkling Christmas lights that truly encapsulate the magic of the festive season.
Your tour concludes in Place Kléber, beneath the towering Christmas tree.

Please note, however, that your guide will accompany you for this spectacle only during the early and mid-evenings.
