This year, the Strasbourg Christmas market will experience a radical change. Indeed, the exhibitors have all received an email in which a list of products ” prohibited was erected. Champagne, grilled chicken, caps, umbrellas or even raclette are now prohibited. What caused this decision? “Strasbourg Capitale de Noël”, a commission set up elected officials and merchant representatives “, reports France Info.
L’ ” objective is to develop the notion of authenticity “, in particular entrusted Guillaume Libsig, deputy in charge of associative life and urban activities at the City of Strasbrourg, this Tuesday, October 11, 2022 to our colleagues from France Bleu Alsace. Other products, meanwhile, should be authorized ” with reservations », « but the members of the commission will go see the traders in the chalets to try to understand the intention, the origin, if it works with the customers or not adds Guillaume Libsig.
“Information from Gorafi”
A decision that does not please everyone. Starting with Arnaud Robinet, the mayor of Reims. In shock, the latter shared a well-felt message on social networks. ” I believed information from Gorafi. But no ! Champagne is prohibited on the Strasbourg Christmas market! Our wine of kings and king of wines is not welcome in the regional capital of the Grand Est Region. What a bad sign sent! How to make this decision? It’s appalling… I had the impression that the Mayor of Strasbourg had nevertheless appreciated our wine in Reims. Doesn’t the Strasbourg Christmas market benefit from regional aid and therefore from the taxpayers of the whole region? In Ville de Reims for our Christmas walk, our Alsatian friends from the Grand Est region are welcome! »
