The Christmas market opened today so we had to check it out. The vendors were thrilled to be there – last year the market was closed because … well, you know why. But this year everyone was out in force, including Père Noël.

It was the first day the market was open, and it was a Thursday night at that, so it was relatively quiet, but it was still fun to wander around and take in the sights.

And even outside the market, Christmas themes and lights were everywhere.

Tomorrow we take the train home, but we will be back.
