This is how you say "Merry Christmas" in French!
We visited the Christmas Market in Montreux, Switzerland last Sunday. It is just down the road from the Chateau de Chillon and stretches along the water of Lake Leman (Geneva). This Christmas market is open every year from November 25-December 24 and is known as one of the top Christmas markets in all of Europe!

It was fun to see and so beautiful. There was a Christmas village in the center of it all and also little, brightly lighted huts all around. Each of the huts sold hand made crafts or tasty treats. We walked the whole stretch admiring all of the hobbies from the locals. There were also many attractions that accented the festival, such as a large Christmas tree and even a ferris wheel. There was a traditional drink that was served as well as many stands called hot wine, (which we all tried). It was very good hot, however once it started to cool down we all agreed that the taste did too.
