Christmas in Belfort

Yesterday I went on the little tourist train that goes around town. In the summer it goes up to the castle, but in December it just goes through the town, so you can look at all the Christmas lights. It was absolutely freezing, and we went so slow!!!! The train went through the pedestrian area, and people were passing us on foot. It was one of those times when it would have been nice to just get out and push.

Despite the cold and slow pace it was still fun to see all the town decorated. It took them about a month to put all of the lights up, but I think their hard work paid off!

Here are a few of the pictures I took.

This is the pedistrian area. I can see these lights from my apartment.



This is the town hall.


Here the gazebo in the "Old Town"


All the buildings in town have yellow and red lights, so everything matches. It looks pretty amazing.
