All you need to know if you’re visiting Strasbourg in December!

Strasbourg is probably the most famous place to visit for Christmas apart from Lapland! Christmas markets were held here at least from 1570 which makes it one of the oldest markets in the whole of Europe. Check the official website of Christmas in Alsace before your visit.
The city is delightfully decorated, with every shop and restaurant putting its best leg forward. And yes, the teddy bears are in the air (both physically and metaphorically!)
I must say that city is very well prepared to provide tourists with the best time: there are information kiosks, maps, list of activities to participate, and the navigation around the Grand Île is really easy.

What not to miss:
1. Kléber Square
2. Place de Temple Neuf
3. Broglie Square
4. La Petite France
5. Place de la Cathédrale
6. Gutenberg Square

ad This week we celebrate one of the major recent openings in gastronomical sphere in London: @mezzogiornobyfrancescomazzei at the @corinthialondon!
If you’re looking for some high-end Italian gastronomical experience, that’s a place for you (saying this as a person who spends a few months a year in Italy) 🇮🇹

We started with a small amuse-bouche from Chef Francesco Mazzei (you can spot him in the restaurant chatting with guests) and bread basket and for the starters, we had Treccine Pugliesi and Carciofi E Puntarelle. And for the main courses, we opted for the beautifully presented Chairman’s tortellini and Tortelli Ricotta E Burrata Balsamico traditionale di Modena 25 years del Duca. The vibrant and intensely favored dishes inspired by the Southern regions of Italy: Calabria, Puglia and Sicily. And just look at these tiramisu and aubergine&chocolate cake (actually I heard a lot about Melanzane al cioccolato from Amalfi coast but never actually tried it until now!) Oh, and did I mention that the kitchen of @mezzogiornobyfrancescomazzei is open and you can actually see your food prepared there?
