Le Village du Partage

Le Village du Partage (The Sharing Village) transforms Place Kléber into Strasbourg's most meaningful Christmas market experience, spreading beneath the magnificent Grand Sapin—a towering Christmas tree reaching at least 30 meters high. This unique market distinguishes itself through its charitable mission, hosting over 110 nonprofit organizations that promote solidarity, humanitarian aid, and social causes throughout the festive season. Visitors can explore chalets representing diverse causes including international humanitarian aid, support for vulnerable populations, disability advocacy, animal welfare, and human rights organizations. The market offers an authentic blend of Alsatian traditions and charitable giving, with artisan crafts, regional products, and culinary specialties sold to benefit worthy causes. Food lovers can savor the famous Soupe Étoilée (Starry Soup), created by Michelin-starred Alsatian chefs specifically to support the HUMANIS collective's social integration projects. Traditional treats like hot chocolate, freshly-made waffles, and tarte flambée complement the charitable shopping experience. Special events include the Mannele Solidaire on December 5th, Volunteer Day celebrations, and solidarity gatherings. The market's innovative reusable cup program allows visitors to donate their €1 cup deposit directly to charity while reducing environmental impact. Don't miss the spectacular daily lighting ceremony of the Grand Sapin at 4 PM, set to music for an unforgettable moment of holiday magic combined with community spirit.
