Being from Strasbourg, and obviously French, I felt I needed to add someone about the Cathedral. Every Cathedral in France is named “Notre Dame”. It stands for “Our Lady”. It’s the general title for any church that is the seat for the bishop. (“Cathedra” in Latin meaning “seat” or “chair”.) So in France you’ll have “Our Lady of Paris”, “Our Lady of Strasbourg”, “Our Lady of Reims” etc cætera. It’s a very common trait in Catholicism and has something to do with devotion to the Virgin Mary.
We were in Strasburg in March this year. We fell in love with this beautiful city and would go back in a heartbeat. We took buses all over and the architecture was lovely. I am bound and determined to go back for the Christmas season. The Astronomical clock has a been running for many, many years. Strasburg changed when wars broke out were then ruled by the winners. This gives Strasburg French and German influences in their food and beverages.
Many of the European Cathedrals do appreciate donations-upkeep cost is huge so please do make a donation if you visit. Strasbourg is one of my favorites.
Love this video! It was put together so well and really shows the beauty of your surroundings. These videos of the Christmas markets has me wanting to go. Love how diverse your content is lately.
TH-cam just suggested your video and we were there when you were there filming! We were on a cruise on the same route and when you were eating the cheese prezel thing we were standing around the table next to you.
Nothing is go up to than to have a hot vine during Christmas time when it cold.... It feels like warm you and make feel soooooooooooo good with out to get drunk... just get relax and get in the good mood.
I love when the snow comes down at the Christmas markets , it’s magical ! I lived in Germany on and off when growing up and I loved the snow ! I’m lucky as I speak both German and French ( rusty now as I don’t get to use it often ) loved the vlog x
Don’t mind me commenting all over the place but on our tour (we were on a Rick Steves Best of Munich, Salzburg, and Vienna tour) after the tour was over we took the train from Vienna to Strasbourg then to Cologne. Over the course of 2 weeks we collected 21 mugs 🤣
Thanks for a great video showing Strasbourg in all of its winter glory. Josh, could I ask what brand your jacket is and where you purchased it please? Thanks
This was December and considered to be the last week of the markets which was mid December. Most markets do open in late November, but it’s best to check with your travel advisor or city your visiting first.
I have to wait for this since our Christmas market river cruise isn’t until Dec 2024 but we have experienced Strasbourg and Cologne’s Christmas markets a few years ago during a land trip. Strasbourg cathedral is awesome and we were able to listen to the video while in the cathedral that explained everything about that astronomical clock. You should see that cathedral at night 😮
What a great experience for you guys, went to Strasbourg when i was 13, third time back to france, of course i came to america when i was 2 , born in Rosiere en haye france on an US air force base. My mother is french and lived about an hour away from there, in the provence of Lorraine. Thanks for sharing Josh and Taylor, and i'm glad you got to see the Cathedral!
I would love to travel internationally during the holidays sometime. Until I get the chance, I'll have to stick to Epcot for some of my cultural experiences, I guess.
May I ask what month were you there? We plan to go this December so we wonder it will be snowing like this so we can prepare our outerwear’s. Thank you
This was the last cruise in December. They told us it was odd to have this much snow that earlier in the winter season so just be prepared for anything!
Wolfart, Christmas stores are in every Christmas Market, and they also have stores in mist of the German Cities. Was surprised you didn't decide to go on the River Boat that would take you to Nuremberg, which has the Best Christmas Market in Europe. If you ever go back...Please make sure you do that city , and then go on as far as Vienna. Yes, you are seeing good Christmas Markets, but are missing the better ones! Also , you can buy Katie Wolfart in the US, and have also seen her stands at the Phila and the Bethlehem Christmas Markets. But US Christmas Markets do not compare to the ones in Europe! Yes i have been to Stroudsburg, twice in winter, yes in the snow. And 3 times in Summer! Vickie from SE Pa

I don’t believe so. You could bring slip on spikes with you and put them after disembarking. Ice wasn’t much of an issue. The crew was really great at making sure we were safe going down and up the ramps when disembarking.
Agreed, I believe the reverse sailing, Amsterdam to Basel (this one is Basel to Ams), does offer more nights at the market because the timing and sailing are a little different.
Are there no places to eat inside? Are there other things to look at beside large food carts? I'm asking because I will be there in April and I was hoping to see a flea mkt on Saturday, and a cool restaurant to eat lunch. Maybe there wont be anything like that. I heard about the flea mkt on saturdays but maybe there is not. A beautiful church and food carts. I hope there's more. Maybe more cool shops and did they ever get a Christmas ornament? While I'm kind of disappointed, I do appreciate viewing ahead of time what to expect as far as busing and how much walking there would be. Very cute couple.
There is a glee market on Broglie square every Saturday. And a lot of very good restaurants of all kinds. If you are looking for a Michelin Star experience, you can try Le Crocodile. Or Le Gayot for a traditional French experience.
Hi this was mid December, and we had an unusual colder than normal weather pattern. Weather is u predictable and could very well be below zero but it’s unlikely. Have fun!
Lol with the IF ITS GOOD ITS GOOD🤣even if its good on your opinion if u do not tell the people who watch then what good? Hahhaha And all human being have different taste bud. Like the good one for me is a spicy food but not all are eating spicy right? Salute to the guy who vlogs it really well. Its how u show and tell people for the views that they can learn what they can eat there or what does the place offer. Well i like the vlog and I finished til the end because i am traveling there too with my husband. I just have a question about the jacket u wear? Is it a windbreaker waterproof one like they use on skiing? I asked this because im packing very light and if that ski jacket can make u warm then i’ll bring that to lessen bulky coats . Thanks

Thank you very much! That makes a lot of sense now!

Headed there in 2 weeks! 5 Markets in 5 days in 5 countries. Vlogging the journey! Thanks for the tips you two!
Thats great! Sounds like it will be a wonderful time! Have fun!

Loved this video nice atmosphere thanks brings back memories.
Omg this was our absolute favorite place! We can’t wait to get back there!
Seeing my building in a TH-cam video was rather surprising. Nice video.
I hate the cold and I hate snow. But these videos have me convinced we need to do a Christmas cruise. Amazing!
Me too!
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures! It looks so magical. ❤
Strasbourg is also where we had to buy another suitcase 😂😂😂
Thank you for bringing us along!! This is amazing!!

Yea! The Kathe Wolfahrt shop! That is where we purchased our nutcrackers! For real ones 🤣
Love the new content and all of the growth on your channel. I will say I miss the dining reviews but love what you’re doing now.
I’ve been waiting for this video ❤
Awesome! Love it! Thank you so much!
Josh, You are a great speaker! I loved listening to you explain things on this vlog! Love your guys channel, no matter what you're doing. :)
Thanks so much!!
This is were my mom lives. Le marché de Noël de Strasbourg is my favorite with Kaysesberg.
Wow, what a place. You guys will be talking about that day for years to come. Seems very romantic. 😊
Don’t mind me commenting all over the place but on our tour (we were on a Rick Steves Best of Munich, Salzburg, and Vienna tour) after the tour was over we took the train from Vienna to Strasbourg then to Cologne. Over the course of 2 weeks we collected 21 mugs 🤣

Hi Jenny, it’s under armor. I purchased it directly through under armor.
What month did you visit? I've heard many markets open in sometime November? Thank you for the video.
This was December and considered to be the last week of the markets which was mid December.
Most markets do open in late November, but it’s best to check with your travel advisor or city your visiting first.
Les marchés ouvrent généralement fin novembre et ferment a Noël ❤❤
Love this!! Taylor-where did you get your rain jacket cover? Its a great idea!!!!
Amazon!
Can your wife find the link for me?

Nous y allons en décembre...et espérons bien avoir de la neige 😊😊....l'Alsace est une de mes région préférées de mon beau pays ❤❤
This bed looks firm and fluffy
I'm here because of Jan Böhmermann.
Er ist prominent.
Actually, all the cathedrals in France are called Notre Dame ("Our Lady") ❤
I’m going next week on the Danube. When did you go last year
It was the second week or so of December and was the last sailing for the season.
Love it! ❤

I did kind of chuckle when they said they didn’t find anything at Kathe Wohlfahrt. I have so many ornaments from so many different locations. 🥰
And I think you mean Strasbourg.
They're typical Americans. Did you hear her say she doesn't bother to learn the language. Sooooo typical

Just wondering about ice and boots. Are spiked boots allowed on the ships? Or is ice not an issue?
I don’t believe so. You could bring slip on spikes with you and put them after disembarking. Ice wasn’t much of an issue. The crew was really great at making sure we were safe going down and up the ramps when disembarking.
Just curious we’re you there in December, or when it first opened?
What boat were you on?
sucks that you don't get to see much of the markets at night.

This is not a video intended to give you any idea of what it would be like in April. This is specific to the Christmas season.
@@travelwithjoshandtaylor you are right. It will be totally different. The food and drink looks delicious
There is a glee market on Broglie square every Saturday. And a lot of very good restaurants of all kinds. If you are looking for a Michelin Star experience, you can try Le Crocodile. Or Le Gayot for a traditional French experience.
hi. may i know what date was this shot ? ill be there dec 22=26. just so ill know what to expect weatherwise. do temps drop below zero ? thanks.
Hi this was mid December, and we had an unusual colder than normal weather pattern. Weather is u predictable and could very well be below zero but it’s unlikely. Have fun!
@@travelwithjoshandtaylor ahhh noted. thank you so much for the info. great video.
Lovely to see you guys in one of the original Fantasylands... but I think we should all think of another adjective than "good" to describe a taste 😉
So pretty
Lol with the IF ITS GOOD ITS GOOD🤣even if its good on your opinion if u do not tell the people who watch then what good? Hahhaha And all human being have different taste bud. Like the good one for me is a spicy food but not all are eating spicy right? Salute to the guy who vlogs it really well.

they don't take credit cards?
Most places only took cash and some did take cards. Seemed like it was best just to have the cash.
It’s common in this region. Both on the German and the French side. More so on the German side.
Loving this! I want to do this trip! Also love these longer videos! That Nutella crepe looked delicious! 😍
Where can I get your wife’s raincoat over her coat?
This might sound really shallow, but I don’t care for people that talk the way this lady does in the white coat
Awful
