The town has an absolutely incredible cathedral. All around it, there was a Christmas market selling decorations, food, and vin chaud (hot wine - just like gleuwein in Germany, but this time called by its French name!).
I loved all of the "musical" Santas that could be found all over the city. At one point, Megan and I heard a band of Santas playing "Surfin' USA". We thought it was an odd choice, but enjoyed it nonetheless.
There wasn't an inch of the city that wasn't covered in Christmas decorations! And they got even better at night!
The most exciting part of the day was that I finally found the perfect Christmas Pyramid! I had looked for one at several different Christmas markets throughout Germany and France. It looks great in our apartment!
Oh wow! So beautiful. I love the picture of the Santas:)
