Another pleasant surprise was that a Christmas Market opened the day after we arrived, and was very close to our hotel. The quality of goods on sale was very good and we browsed many times, perhaps also attracted by the mulled wine on sale at strategic points. Food was local and prepared on an almost industrial scale, including chimney cake, cooked to order on a charcoal fire then covered with whatever additions you want, before being served still steaming. The downside of the weather was worth the benefit of the market!
Nearby was Gerbaud, famous local tea house, where we enjoyed coffee, hot chocolate (I had two!) and very (too) sweet cakes. Needed a mulled wine cleanser after that.

Oh, yes, the rastafarian dog - no idea what breed and had a rather dirty undercarriage!
