Well they certainly know how to decorate and celebrate in Strasbourg at Christmas. Hundreds of shops, restaurants and houses are draped in millions of lights, baubles, Christmas wreaths and, very strangely, a large collection of teddy bears. Walking along its streets, the city takes on the form of its title: Capitale de Noël. Everything from the smallest of shops to the vast cathedral are decorated and illuminated for the season. The streets and buildings are all lavishly decorated. So much effort and time must have gone into them. The windows are full of animations, teddy bears making cakes, Santas going down chimneys etc. Great for children and for the adults too!

Teddy bears seem to feature highly in many of the decorations and buildings. They must have some local significance.
Ahh! Very cute.
Colourful and sparkly.
We decided, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
