Dec 11 – Mulhouse Christmas Market


We're combining our Christmas Market visits with work so this morning was spent working on our Morocco pictures.  At lunch time we headed back down the street and found a nice restaurant for lunch.

A main square on the main road included a great Christmas display.

And there were other displays tucked against various buildings.

Then we wandered over to the Christmas Market.  This was a small, compact market, but very colorful and lots of nice shops.  Almost all of the shops were open so we checked them out some more.

Paul bought a large Belgian waffle with Nutella and banana.  Mary had a couple of bites. 

The church in the square is Temple Saint Etienne.

It serves as a great backdrop for the ferris wheel.

At one end of the square is the City Hall.  They had it pretty decked out for the holidays as well.

They have a nice small carousel wheel just beside the city hall.

Then it was back to the hotel to warm up and do a bit more work.

We opted for dinner at a restaurant close to the hotel and didn’t go down to the Christmas Market this evening.
