In Alsace, better than anywhere else in France, the food traditions have been deeply respected and kept for centuries. At the fall seasons and before celebrating Christmas during the Advent period, Alsace becomes magic !
Illuminated building and houses are sparkling. In each house, the family prepares home decorations, makes cookies and biscuits. Music and songs take part of the holly fest

Althought the cook-books can be helpfull for finding new original receipes, the best, for sharing the secrets of the chefs, is to push the door of the chef's kitchen and enroll cooking classes.

Don’t wait to long… take a flight to France (at the low touristic season, you can find the best rates), and join us in Alsace for a very special six-day adventure dedicated to the home decoration and Christmas menu preparations !
