Carré d'Or

The Carré d'Or Christmas Market at Place du Temple-Neuf offers an intimate and refined alternative to Strasbourg's larger market areas. Nestled in front of the elegant 19th-century Temple Neuf church, this artisanal market specializes in high-quality handcrafted gifts and decorations that make it a favorite among discerning shoppers. The market's golden illuminations create a warm, upscale atmosphere that perfectly complements the surrounding historic architecture. Visitors will discover an exceptional selection of illuminated stars, light-up houses, and artisan-crafted ornaments alongside regional Alsatian food specialties. The market's location in the Carré d'Or district places you steps away from the beautifully decorated Rue des Orfèvres, one of Strasbourg's most enchanting streets during the Christmas season. This charming neighborhood is home to renowned pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and artisan shops, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll through festive window displays. The less crowded atmosphere allows visitors to browse at a relaxed pace while enjoying the magical decorations that have earned Strasbourg its title as the Capital of Christmas. After exploring the market stalls, take time to wander the surrounding streets where you'll find exceptional local artisans and the magnificent Strasbourg Cathedral just moments away.
