Se alkaa vuosi olla kohta pulkassa ja tässä tulee vuoden viimeiset tapahtumat. Tämä kuukausi mennäänkin tiukasti joulun ympärillä ja joka puolella järjestetään joulumarkkinoita. Kävin jo piipahtamassa Annecyn markkinoilla, ne olivat todella kivat ja Annecy oli upean näköinen iltavalaistuksessa. Joulumarkkinat ovat ihanan tunnelmallisia ja tuo jouluisen mielen. Joulukalenteria kannattaa seurata, siellä on kivoja tarinoita eri maiden joulun vietosta. Itsenäisyyspäivänä järjestetään Genevessä kauneimmat joululaulut ja se jos mikä tuo jouluisen fiiliksen, sillä suomalaisia joululauluja ei tule kuunneltua kovinkaan paljoa...
Mukavaa joulunodotusta kaikille lukijoille!
Minne mennä tänään? –joulukuu-

Dans la peau de Hundertwasser
Quartier Libre SIG decided to pay tribute to this Austrian painter who, throughout his life, encouraged and developed, an environmentally-friendly way of living. Across his works and architecture, he attempted to reconcile the human and his environment in the hope of re-establishing a place of living in harmony with nature. The exhibition features Hundertwasser’s visual and architectural works proving his commitment to sustainable development and rejection of conformity. From painting to architecture, Hundertwasser lets the colour burst out, eliminates the straight geometrical line and tirelessly invites vegetation to expand.

Today’s Christmas market is heir to the “Christkindelsmärik", which was first recorded in 1570. Initially located next to the cathedral, this market sold everything necessary for the Advent celebrations.
Four centuries later, the delicate balance between this tradition and a constant search for novelty still makes Strasbourg Christmas Market a success: around 2 million visitors every year, 5 weeks of celebrations, 300 chalets spread across 11 sites (all reachable on foot), 500 events... and a big Christmas tree nearly 30 metres tall!
A successful blend of traditional celebration and major cultural event, “Strasbourg, the Christmas capital" also remains unique thanks to the exceptional setting of the Grande île de Strasbourg, a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988.
