Easter and Spring Markets and Festivities
It is in Germany and Alsace that the Easter Bunny is first associated with Easter Eggs to celebrate spring. The children made baskets and placed them in the gardens hoping that the rabbits would come and lay eggs.... We always find this tradition on the other side of the Rhine...
With its storks perched on the chimneys, its beautiful half-timbered houses, the alignment of its vineyard, its white wines, its gastronomy and its winstubs, Alsace has it all. It's obvious! But how many of you know that the region has many attractions for visitors in spring?
The return of the summer season is celebrated in a colorful and flowery setting. Under the first rays of the sun, preparations for the Easter holidays are in full swing. The period of fasting and restriction of Lent will soon end on Easter Sunday. The festival is, in Alsace, the most popular and respected tradition after Christmas.
