Rouen's Christmas Market

All of Rouen was decorated starting in late November in Christmas decorations it was quite beautiful and cheery since the weather was VERY cold.






Chocolate Pere Noels! they were too cute I couldn't not take a photo of them.


In almost every town, no matter how big or small, in Europe there is a Christmas market with local street foods and stalls with small trinkets and art for sale. Rouen's was in front of the Cathedral in a small square.




2 of the most popular stands were the lightup Santa hats and the I heart Rouen shirts



Yeah there was a Canadian tipi


It was seriously like Canada ville in the Christmas Market this photo is all maple syrup


There was even a Montreal booth




The cool French thing to do here is drink warm spiced wine while you wander the market (in French it is Vin Chaud pronounced like van show but cut off the n on van like you have a cold)



This guy was my new best friend he made me a fresh crepe avec nutella that was amazing!

do not get confused by this photo Gaufre is a waffle and the round things are beignets and the random person hand's are holding a crepe


I love the Christmas market, we went every couple days just to wander and shop for Christmas
