Switzerland, your neighbour
A country as guest of honor Each year, a different country is invited as Strasbourg’s Christmas guest of honour, to add an extra touch of magic, and in 2011 it is Switzerland. The whole of Place Gutenberg is given over to artistic and cultural activities, with a traditional market of local Swiss produce and crafts, along with folk dancing, concerts and exhibitions from Switzerland and its cantons.
