The Christmas season is approaching in Strasbourg 🇫🇷 France . Christmas decorations have begun to be put up throughout the city 🤶🏻🎅🏻🎄
Early October 2023 was filled with amazing sunshine and warmth, but since the beginning of this week, we have been experiencing cloudy and sometimes rainy days, which is a sign that winter is coming ☔️ Nevertheless, the maximum temperature is still around 14°C and the minimum temperature is about 8°C, which is still comfortable.
And this week, Place Kléber (Kléber Square) has been visited by a heart-warming moment: the installation of the annual Christmas tree. The annual Christmas tree installation has begun, and the Christmas tree that will decorate Strasbourg's 2023 Christmas season is now in place. It is a whopping 30 meters tall! And weighing an amazing 6 tons, the tree is said to be 70/80 years old.
Although the Strasbourg Christmas tree provides us with great moments, it has had a little trouble in the past: in 2013, the Christmas tree spent the Christmas season leaning. And in 2017, the tree had to be replaced in a hurry due to problems. It seems it is not easy to maintain such a big Christmas tree 🎄 By the way, the 2023 tree seems to be standing firm 😆
Some of you may have noticed from the pictures. Some of you may be thinking, "Isn't the silhouette beautiful?" Some of you may be thinking, "What? The tree currently looks like it has too many branches trimmed”, but don't worry. Over the next four weeks, the branches will be pruned and transplanted to shape and decorate the Christmas tree to enhance its original beauty🎄
