Why Esch-sur-Alzette puts its Christmas tree up early
You can tell Christmas in Luxembourg is not far away when towns begin to have their Christmas market trees delivered, and one of the first places to welcome theirs is Esch-sur-Alzette.
You can tell Christmas in Luxembourg is not far away when towns begin to have their Christmas market trees delivered, and one of the first places to welcome theirs is Esch-sur-Alzette.
"It's higher than last year, a bit thinner, but higher," says Sascha Seil from Esch's press service standing at the foot of the tree measuring a total of 14.5 metres.
The reason the tree in Esch goes up so early is because the Christmas market in the town begins on November 18.
Second Christmas market
For the first time this year, a little second Christmas market will take place at half way up the Gaalgebierg hill, just outside Esch-sur-Alzette.
