Paris vs. Strasbourg Christmas Markets: Here's the One Americans Should Book

Every Paris Christmas market with its dates, a walking route for the lights, and what's open on December 24 and 25. If we haven't done it ourselves, it's not in the guide.

Christmas in Paris vs. Strasbourg: pick the wrong one for your trip and you can lose a day on a train and miss the market you came for. Over six rounds, I argue for Strasbourg, Colleen defends Paris, and Mick keeps score.

We compare the Strasbourg Christmas market with the Paris markets, the lights, the food, the crowds, the cost, and the calendar, from the Tuileries to the Galeries Lafayette windows to the TGV from Gare de l'Est.
