Another treatwas starting our guided visit at a Chocolatemuseum and indulging in a warming cup of thick,rich hot chocolate. With time to appreciatethe beautifully decorated houses, shops andstreets, Christmas chalets with regional goods,homeware, gifts, and decorations, we gulpedin the scent of mulled wine, roasting chestnutsand gingerbread that filled the air. As dusk fell,the lights twinkled and the setting sun madethe colourful half-timbered houses glow softly.Afterwards, aboard our festive barge, the Galadinner was a wonderful way to spend the lastnight of a magical tour.Christmas markets tours departfrom Strasbourg and Colmardetails here: croisieurope.co.uk/ChristmasmarketcruisesRhineFind all of CroisiEurope’s tours here:Croisieurope.co.ukGala dinner treat!Europe’s largest rivercruise lineWHY CHOOSE TO CRUISE WITH CROISIEUROPE?49 years’ experienceand 50 shipsSuperbFrench cuisineALSO AVAILABLE: FLY-CRUISE PACKAGES FROM LONDON AND REGIONAL AIRPORTS, call us for detailsALSACE-LORRAINEHistory and Traditions6 Night Canal CruisesFrom £ 2 640/ppBORDEAUXThe Heart of Wine Country4 to 7 Night River CruisesFrom £ 892/ppFor our full range of special offers visit our website: www.croisieurope.co.ukINFORMATION AND RESERVATIONS: Tel. 01756 691 273 • sales@croisieurope.co.ukAll prices are based on two adults sharing a cabin, category C, are correct at time of going to press, subject to availability.
