What else is there next to the Grand Sapin?
The Aubette building hosts the Noël des Brocanteurs second-hand market and the Salon Oz, a Christmas fair of fine arts and crafts.

There is an official information chalet on Place Kléber and another on Place de la Gare. Greeters in Strasbourg Capitale de Noël colours also walk the aisles on Wednesdays and at weekends.
