Christmas decoration for giants...

Strasbourg - Alsace (France) view map

Even though I decided to give a very personal approach to the theme of this gallery,
avoiding voluntarily all the most famous sights and monument, as protagonists of my photos,
leaving to them only a second role in the background,
nevertheless it’s useless to deny that we often found ourselves
strolling over the Cathedral place.
So I cannot help adding this visual report of one of the symbol of Strasbourg, which explains so well why they are specialized in Christmas markets too…
This amazing house, called “maison Kammerzell” was built in 1589 and at night, when most of its 75(!!!) windows are lit up, it really looks like a Christmas decoration for a family of giants’ tree.
You have surely already seen it in thousands of pictures…
Let me add mine, in all humility, to the list.

Il est vrai que les décorations de Noël semblent être déjà mises sur cette demeure. C'est une remarque que je m'étais déjà faite en passant devant il y a quelques annéees. Cela fait partie du charme nocturne de Strasbourg.
