several canceled trains on the Strasbourg-Mulhouse-Basel route The Alsatian railway network was heavily disrupted this Monday morning for nearly three and a half hours Traffic was completely halted between Colmar and Sélestat a TER train carrying passengers collided head-on with a car that was immobilized on the tracks north of Colmar station according to reports from Le Républicain Lorrain and Info Trafic Haut-Rhin The car was dragged by the locomotive and became wedged at the front of the train before being pulled along for several hundred meters nstead of making a right-angle left turn onto Rue des Papeteries in Colmar the young driver lost control of his vehicle crashing through the fence that separates the tracks from the road The 17-year-old driver escaped unharmed as he managed to leave the vehicle well before the train’s impact but was deeply shaken A towing company located very close to the railway and the accident site alerted emergency services before attempting The car’s rear axle had already been secured the winch cable had not yet been tightened when the TER train crashed into the car stuck on the tracks another train arrived at the scene to take care of about

Metrics details Information on materials and procedures of painters of the past can be gained from the latest examinations of a painting and its materials and from documentary sources the change of meaning of which is of prior interest to historians of technical art This paper is an empirical and theoretical examination of the relationships between the two main early medieval collections of craft recipes the Compositiones Lucenses and the Mappæ Clavicula The primary aim of this work is to criticise the current prevalent meaning of the concept of Mappæ Clavicula and to show that its tradition does not include that of Compositiones: these two traditions The first edition of the eighth to ninth centuries recipe book Compositiones Lucenses (Lucca and the twelfth century exemplar of Mappæ Clavicula’s text about one century later (Corning In the interwar period and particularly after WWII the Lucca manuscript was predominantly considered to be a member of the Mappae Clavicula tradition which was regarded as second only to Theophilus’s De diversis artibus as a written source for the study of medieval technology ‘Compositiones Lucenses’ and ‘Mappæ Clavicula’ are taxonomic concepts for the classification of medieval manuscripts and texts the meanings of which we redefine in this paper In contrast to today’s prevailing approach we move the focus from two single manuscripts (Lucca 490 and Corning) to two different traditions of witnesses and from single texts to collections of texts bound in the same codex The critical section of the paper concerns the most important interpretations of the notion of Mappæ Clavicula while the positive section draws on three works: the seminal paper by Halleux and Meyvaert (1980s) and the inventory of the manuscripts of the Compositiones tradition by Brun (2010s) In the empirical section we contrast the two traditions and consider two sets of items: twelve manuscripts reveal the internal structure of the Compositiones Lucenses tradition we show that a significant segment of the Compositiones Lucenses tradition is composed of an aggregation of small recipe nuclei and that this tradition developed regardless of that of the Mappæ The Mappæ Clavicula and Compositiones Lucenses are two distinct textual traditions and not members of a super-corpus technical art history requires reliable literary sources; however this is not the case for the Mappæ and Compositiones Lucenses traditions In this paper we show how they have been interpreted differently since the first respective publications of their witnesses and how the prevailing interpretation of these records is far from being conceptually well-founded and coherently articulated We propose a new interpretation of these dated literary records and provide new evidence for their systematic interpretation who respectively published for the first time Theophilus’ and Cennini’s texts and the anonymous text of Mappæ Clavicula of a manuscript which is known as the Corning manuscript today 5–9 for further information on Sir Thomas Phillipps and the first and only publication of the manuscript In contrast to the authors mentioned above the present paper sustains the hypothesis that Mappæ and Compositiones are two different traditions whilst often being included within the same set of manuscripts a small but decisive number of manuscripts of the Compositiones are completely independent from the Mappæ tradition without being grounded in any precise codicological and philological bases We argue that the Compositiones Lucenses and Mappæ Clavicula are two separate collections of texts and for this purpose we criticise Johnson’s notion of Mappæ Clavicula in both its dated and recent formulations the works on which we draw must be integrated with the inventories of the manuscripts of both traditions and founded upon an operative procedure for identifying the text units of the Compositiones Lucenses tradition The new interpretations of old data will reveal new pieces of evidence from the examination of a set of manuscripts transmitting the Compositiones Lucenses tradition and a second set of codices which include texts from the Compositiones and the Mappæ traditions The material collected in the present research will be used to check the current hypothesis on the existence of a unique corpus containing both traditions The scrutiny of the present state of the literature will bring further pieces of evidence as to the differences between the two traditions Ganzenmüller’s procedure draws on a limited set of manuscripts and his conclusion is coherent with their contents An effective procedure requires precise definitions of the witnesses in terms of manuscripts and texts they include as well as well-defined procedures for assigning a given text unit to one of the two traditions (see below) the Corning manuscript is heterogeneous and includes both the texts from Mappæ and Compositiones (see below); for this reason it is not a reliable reference for separating and identifying the two textual traditions we move the focus from manuscripts to texts and collections of the same text within different manuscripts We interpret the Lucca 490 as belonging to a different tradition and the Corning and Sélestat manuscripts as witnesses of both traditions (see the inventories below) specific lexical terms used by these 13 recipes refer to the same lexicon of other sections of the Lucca 490 manuscript and of the Compositiones Lucenses tradition are completely absent in the Mappæ Clavicula critical edition one should consider these 13 recipes likely candidates for the Compositiones Lucenses tradition the attribution of this fragment to the Mappæ or the Compositiones traditions involves different meanings of the same terms or labels different procedures of assignation of a given text unit to one of the two traditions Texts within the Mappæ Clavicula and Compositiones Lucenses traditions are at first sight so intertwined that one is initially given to believe that they are simply different arrangements of the same fragments of text Mappae Clavicula can be distinguished from Compositiones Lucences through more accurate and expansive inventories of the witnesses of both traditions and their text units 211v on the foundations of buildings be excluded from the Compositiones’ text The latter should be considered the reference witness of the tradition instead of the Lucca 490 and includes 188 texts—of which 149 are already present in Lucca 490 we distinguish the following notable subsets: The first 13 codices include texts from the Compositiones and the Mappæ traditions but only nine of them are fundamental witnesses (Nos are included in the sub-class of the Compositiones (Mappæ) fragmentary tradition and No obtained by a direct copy from a recognised exemplar Three codices belong only to the Compositiones tradition (Nos Two further witnesses contain a few text units of the Compositiones (Nos. 25–26). They represent, together with the above-mentioned manuscripts Nos. 10–12, the fragmentary tradition of the Compositiones Lucenses.Footnote 10 Following systematic comparisons of all text units within the entire collection of the Compositiones tradition we estimate that they number between 200 and 250 texts we may state provisionally and operatively that the text units of Compositiones Lucenses tradition consist of three sets (α which have been categorised according to a progressively diminishing degree of probability (from α to γ) that they belong to a critical edition of text units of the Compositiones: The α set is implemented by complementary text units of two manuscripts with the exception of texts De coloribus; De emplastro; Ad cruas faciendas on f 77r as these are not found in any other manuscript) the incipit of which reads: Corpus hominis (an excerpt from Homo bene figuratus by Vitruvius) Other textual candidates follow a three-step procedure, which is affected by a probability to reject ‘good texts’ (or type I error) and to accept ‘bad texts’ (or type II error).Footnote 12 we detected information regarding a further ten potential manuscripts of the Mappæ tradition The first 13 manuscripts of the Compositiones’ inventory of Table 1 also belong to the Mappæ tradition, and therefore they are not copied into Table 2 (see below) Two other manuscripts are quoted by the authors of the critical edition but not used for setting up the stemma codicum (Nos 16–25) were already recorded by Johnson: some of these might also contain excerpts from the Compositiones tradition To summarise, the entire corpus of the manuscripts of Mappæ Clavicula may be divided into three subsets: the fundamental tradition (the first nine manuscripts of Table 1), one descriptus (No. 13 of Table 1) and the remaining 15 manuscripts named the fragmentary tradition of Mappæ Johnson’s method has at least three drawbacks: (i) it is mainly an exploratory research which needs to be reinterpreted; (ii) the use of the Corning Phillips as a reference generates discrepancies due to the highly heterogeneous nature of the manuscript produced by the overlap of chronologically different texts and (iii) the one and only transcription of the Corning manuscript is considered obsolete Two manuscripts quoted by Johnson are not usefulFootnote 13 and the remaining 79 do not relate to a single text but rather to the following combinations of three main texts (the number of references is reported in round brackets): De Coloribus et MixtionibusFootnote 14 (42) Mappæ Clavicula tradition (4), where the term Mappæ corresponds to the notion introduced by Halleux and Meyvaert [17] where the title ‘Compositiones Lucenses’ is defined as above (7) De Coloribus et Mixtionibus + Mappæ Clavicula tradition (1) Mappæ Clavicula tradition + Compositiones Lucenses tradition (6) De Coloribus et Mixtionibus + Compositiones Lucenses tradition (9) De Coloribus et Mixtionibus + Compositiones Lucenses tradition + Mappæ Clavicula tradition (9) The recipe book named De Coloribus et Mixtionibus (Nos What is today known as the alchemical core of the Corning manuscript or Mappæ Clavicula (0–95) Texts belonging to the Compositiones Lucenses tradition (Nos. 96–278), ff. 24r–62r. Notable text units of English and Arabic origin are Nos. 190–191 on f. 40r and Nos. 195–203 on ff. 43r–44v. Texts addressing military subjects and incendiary bombs are Nos. 264–278 on ff. 57v–62r.Footnote 15 as the union of four manuscripts (Lucca 490 is in terms of manuscripts and not of texts as in the present work the four items are witnesses of both traditions and all four are of fundamental importance to the reconstruction of Mappæ and Compositiones texts Clarke’s list lacks five other fundamental manuscripts (see below): he follows the paths of Bischoff and Johnson and his method is affected by the similar and even greater flaws In fact the four reference manuscripts contain different texts a great part of which is irrelevant to either of the respective traditions and the second to the title of the text units while columns 3–6 indicate the relevant folio and the position of each text-unity within its own manuscript The nuclei are internally ordered in an even fashion. Table 3 provides examples of the change mechanisms which occurred in the four manuscripts: the most common of which is the loss of one or more than one text within a nucleus Other mechanisms include the lack of an entire nucleus (see the case of lapidary ‘b’) and the loss of the ordinal structure which is probably due to the conditions of their exemplar or to a confusion between the folios during the copying process Stemma codicum of the Mappæ Clavicula tradition Two different selective forces operated on the two branches of the stemma The first is represented by the selective action of the various copyists who introduced a set of sharp changes to the Mappæ’s texts of the α family along the chain from ω to α4 The active selection operated on the β family was that of the copyist who compiled the florilegium The texts of the eight remaining codices are provided in a continuous progression in which recipes are marked by their title only and without any comments in the pages’ margins A discontinuous alpha-numerical thematic order is rarely present Contents and structure of the nine codices transmitting Mappæ Clavicula and the Compositiones lucenses traditions Red and grey fragmentary tradition of the Mappæ Clavicula The four columns on Table 4 present four univariate small in size: they refer to the number of text units indicated by the blocks of Mappæ (Compositiones) of the α and β families It seems hard to consider the four data sets as samples extracted from one large population of codices; therefore we may consider each one of the four as individual populations themselves The average number of texts of the Compositiones of the α family (98.5.) is 1.72 times that of Mappæ (57.2) unlike the figures of the β family which are very close in number (26.7 texts for the Compositiones and 24.6 for Mappæ respectively) the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean value) of the four distributions is large and has similar magnitudes It ranges from a maximum CV of 0.85 (Mappæ blocks of the α family) to a minimum CV of 0.67 (Compositiones blocks of the β family) The high values of the standard deviation and the coefficient of variation of the four distributions are due to the contemporaneous presence of both big and small blocks of recipes The indices of kurtosis and skewness are used to describe the shape of the distribution of our empirical populations Karl Pearson operatively introduced the concept of kurtosis in terms of the fourth moment around the mean and platykurtic to indicate cases in which (excess) kurtosis is > 0 This index is related to the tails of the distribution: high values of kurtosis mean that the distribution is affected by infrequent extreme deviations that determine a great part of the variance This is the case of the Compositiones distributions of both α and β families (see columns 1 and 3) The skewness index has been calculated in terms of the third moment around the mean (Fisher–Pearson standardised third moment): in symmetrical distributions Positive skewness indicates that the tail on the right side of the distribution is longer or fatter than that of the left side and the mass of the distribution is concentrated on the left of the figure 3 and 4 are moderately skewed to the right (+ ½ < skewness < + 1) 1 and 2 are approximately symmetrical (0 < skewness < + ½) three distributions over four are normal at the confidence level of 0.05 The mean values of the two sets of data including all the blocks of Compositiones (columns 1 plus 3) and of Mappæ (columns 2 plus 4) are 65.00 texts (Compositiones) and 41.66 texts (Mappæ) Their corresponding coefficients of variation increase in comparison to the values of the four initial data sets [CV (CLT) = 1.07; CV (MCT) = 0.99] The high values of the CV may be easily interpreted as the result of an active selection of text units by the copyists The Shapiro–Wilk index shows that both new distributions are normal at 0.05 level of confidence The codex is a collection of texts on craft techniques and architecture and is likely to be the result of a subject-based reassembly of different writings Texts from Mappæ and Compositiones traditions are bound with De architectura by Vitruvius De diversis fabricis architectonicae by Faventinus and other fragments from ancient collections on the same subject The prologue of Mappæ is placed at the end of the codex (ff together with those of Heraclius and an incomplete version of De Coloribus et Mixtionibus indicated here as ‘text of uncertain origin’ could be ascribed to Mappæ Clavicula; however they seem likely to be part of autonomous traditions excerpted from Mappæ or from other similar alchemical collections This is indicated by an interruption in the transcription of the text De speciebus metallorum herbarum lapidum lignorum et fusi salnitri afronitri at the end of the quire 21 lines in a single column: its texts (see above) are not separated by particular visual devices monastery of Saint Augustine in Canterbury The manuscript is mostly devoted to alchemy and recipe books such as De Coloribus et Mixtionibus The compiler carried out an extensive and recognisable reworking of the text 23r–32v contains several textual segments from the Compositiones tradition: some of them could have been missing It is an alchemical and medical codex that includes texts from the De Coloribus et Mixtionibus with excerpts from the first book of De diversis artibus by Theophilus One text unit from Mappæ is inserted within the transcription of the Compositiones tradition which is preceded by the recipe Item de chrisographia on f 199ra; the other typical recipe Aurum crescere is on f This manuscript belongs to the same florilegium of Madrid 19 although the Parisian manuscript appears more extensive than the Madrid codex in the section of the Compositiones tradition The texts Item de grisografia and Amplificatio auriis are on f ‹dragon› and ‹M› watermarks alternated in the volume This manuscript is most likely to be an excerpt from the same florilegium although here Mappæ Clavicula and Compositiones traditions are bound up with De diversis artibus by Theophilus and other treatises related to pigments and glass colourings It shares with the P manuscript the presence of the recipe De grisographia on f The following three manuscripts belong only to the Compositiones Lucenses tradition: they are fundamental witnesses of the tradition two of these include large amounts of text units All three are independent from the Mappæ tradition The text of the Compositiones Lucenses tradition was copied just after the transcription of De architectura by Vitruvius It begins with a series of directions on incendiary mixtures and military machines and this fits in well with the Book X of the De architectura devoted to the use and construction of machines This fragmentary manuscript was probably formed from at least 119 text units Various pieces of evidence show that Mappæ and Compositiones are two different textual traditions arising from new interpretations of old evidence The text of Mappæ can be retraced throughout the indexes of four manuscripts.Footnote 21 The Compositiones Lucenses’ text cannot be restored on the basis of current knowledge since none of its manuscripts identified to date can give us the precise number of text units and their sequence three witnesses of the Compositiones tradition had their autonomous literary circulation from the Mappæ tradition from at least the ninth century until the twelfth century (the eighth to ninth centuries Lucca 490 Three other notable pieces of evidence concern the Mappæ Clavicula tradition; i.e.: the Mappæ tradition is not characterised by witnesses having both greatly sized blocks of texts and an independent life from other textual traditions only a small number of manuscripts of the Mappæ’s fragmentary tradition might be independent from the Compositiones Lucenses These features may be rationalised with the deliberate copying of a selection from larger blocks operated by copyists the origin of big blocks of texts may also be explained by means of a first stage of aggregation followed by a successive segregation from a unique source in a quasi-homogeneous state from a source named Mappæ Clavicula text family the latter hypothesis is not statistically plausible with the exception of the Lucca 490 manuscript and sparse information on some of the nine fundamental codices our knowledge of their codicological units (quires or booklets) is still approximate further evidence of separation of the two traditions emerges: in the Sélestat 17 manuscript the Mappæ Clavicula text is found in the first two quires Compositiones Lucenses tradition starts from a new quire on f which is different in both format and parchment The two traditions are contiguous and are copied in subsequent gatherings This same fact may be interpreted as a process in which two different texts or booklets are bound together and not as the result of the deliberate work of the copyist this latter interpretation cannot rule out the magnitude of the two Compositiones’ blocks It is doubtful that a critical edition of the Compositiones Lucenses tradition will be possible a comparative and perhaps critical edition of the text-units of the latter seems plausible This will contribute to a more clear-cut distinction between the two traditions there are new pieces of evidence supporting the theory of two separate collections of recipe books any theory on Mappæ must consider its critical edition which heavily narrows the number of possible witnesses and the fact that the Compositiones Lucenses tradition has had an autonomous existence from Mappæ for a long time The contents of the two traditions are significantly diverse and Compositiones’ structure includes various nuclei of texts the contents of which are not similar to those of Mappæ Further evidence could come from assessment of the lexical differences on pigments and dyes throughout a significant number of witnesses from the two presumed traditions All these facts are difficult to account for with any theory of a unique Mappæ Clavicula text family; rather they can be rather easily explained by imagining the existence of two separate traditions Thus Halleux and Meyvaert advanced the hypothesis that the word mappa is the result of an erroneous translation in which the word cheirokmeton (χειρόκμητον) was confused with cheiromaktron (χειρόμακτρον) (napkin or in Latin mappa) The adjective of χειρόμαχτρον means handmade or artificial and the neutral plural τά χειρόκμητα (tacheirokmeta the tricks-of-the-trade) referred to an alchemical genre Halleux’s and Meyvaert’s hypothesis is plausible and has not been opposed by any other interpretations it is coherently structured and is supported by some evidence; however It is beyond the scope of the present paper to discuss the authority we accord to the first critical edition of Mappæ We share its concept of Mappæ Clavicula as referring to the old alchemical nucleus which shows that the α and β families are greatly different The fact that the text units of the critical edition are arranged in order from precious to cheap metals is further evidence of an alchemical-astrological origin of Mappæ which contrasts and separates the two traditions The phrase ‘text unit’ has been chosen to refer to any single text it becomes possible to include both prescriptive—i.e true recipes—and descriptive text segments A text unit refers to a meaningful text segment which is often but not necessarily separated from the preceding and successive text segments with blank spaces or other palaeographical devices (title But this first step may be insufficient and one should compare a given text unit with its witnesses This will permit one to verify whether the text at hand is the result of a fusion of two or more text units or the splitting of a text unit into two or more segments or to confirm the initial evaluation obtained in the first step The Klosterneuburg fragment is composed of two folios of recipes (ff 19–30) that appear in other witnesses as contiguous sequences The manuscripts which show the recipes from the first folio are not mixed with any from the second folio The poor condition of the Klosterneuburg fragment makes it difficult to collate all its recipes: if we compare the 13 Klosterneuburg texts missing in the Lucca 490 manuscript with the text units of the critical edition of Mappæ and the text units that we think likely candidates of the Compositiones Lucenses tradition None of the texts of the Mappæ Clavicula’s critical edition correspond to any of the thirteen Klosterneuburg text units The sequence of thirteen recipes missing of the Lucca 490 manuscript is present in at least four witnesses of the two traditions and one exemplar of the Compositiones tradition An initial comparison shows the following results: all 13 text units are present in London Ten out of 13 text units are held in Oxford 78r–78v) of the Compositiones tradition includes at least 11 out of 13 text units Although Johnson supported the presence of the two recipes in the manuscript Florence The present inventory does not include the codices of Table 2 marked with an asterisk which may transmit a few texts from the Compositiones because they require further and deeper inspection 223v) with the creation of the texts 91A (Pandius quanus) and 91B (Hec omnia exposuimus) 148 which is split into texts 148A (De confectio ficarim f with the formation of three texts 156A (De terra qui vocatur Limnia) A candidate text is examined according to the following procedure Share one of the thematic nuclei now discovered in the Compositiones tradition and a further research of other nuclei should be made with a visible Greek or classical Latin substratum thus excluding all texts that are clearly medieval additions Whether the verses are an integral part of the De Coloribus et Mixtionibus is contested by some authors These text units are likely candidates for being part of the Compositiones Lucenses tradition Besides the four manuscripts indicated in the key of Table 3 the remaining eight are the following: (i) London The labels and functions of the first six are the following: (1) De fabrica for building foundations (2) Conchylium for parchment purple dyeing and metallic inks (3) Tinctio omnium musivorum for glass mosaic-making (4) De tinctione vitri for colouring glass The text units of the two lapidaries are not contiguous in any witnesses of the Compositiones tradition; nevertheless they may be found within the same manuscript In the following paragraphs, we record the titles, the progressive number of the text units, and the relevant folios from the Vatican Reg. lat. 2079 of the remaining four nuclei (Nos 7–10), which are not represented in Table 3: 83v–84v: Qualiter debeant pelles tingui alithine (9) Militaria (military machines and incendiary mixtures) (10) Memoria (a recapitulating mnemonic chapter) 85v–86r: Natura herbarum lignorum lapidum et metallorum Much work is still to be done on discovering new nuclei to study the diffusion of each single nucleus and its quantitative weight over the total number of text units of each single manuscript of the tradition These are likely to be connected to the development of scholastic lectiones The practice of ordinatio is the result of an original mise-en-page based on a sophisticated arrangement of written works using functional features such as marginal numbers This process was most likely a response to the growing scholastic need for an analytical and efficient study of texts This innovative practice more efficiently organised texts and excerpts from a variety of sources into new arrangements and collections Mappae Clavicula: a little key to the

AFP French President Emmanuel Macron was loudly booed by crowds in eastern France Wednesday as he embarked on his first domestic trip outside of the capital since signing his unpopular pensions reform into law Locals in Selestat in the Alsace region chanted slogans including "Macron resign!" while he was personally heckled by several people present including one man who accused him of having a "corrupt government" Macron told the man his ideas were "unfair" the president replied: "I have had it worse." It was not all condemnation and some people offered him encouragement including one retiree who told him: "Keep going." Macron commented: "There are people who are not happy Everyone should be free to express themselves Police pushed back dozens of protesters banging kitchenware earlier in the day ahead of the president's arrival in the eastern village of Muttersholtz in the Alsace region a form of protest with a long history in France began during Macron's address to the nation on Monday evening after he signed the bill into law over the weekend "The reality across the country is not just those making noise with pans or grumbling He later told reporters that such incidents would not stop him from making visits across France and going on walkabouts "This anger has to be heard and I am not deaf to it," he said but it won't stop me from continuing to make trips," he said The president made very few public appearances to speak to voters during the three months after announcing the deeply unpopular pension reform whose flagship measure is hiking the retirement age from 62 to 64 Political opponents and trade unions have urged protesters to maintain their campaign against the law and called for a new day of mass protest on May 1 Around a hundred people from the CGT and CFDT unions gathered in front of the mayor's office in Muttersholtz earlier on Wednesday using frying pans and pan lids as well as whistles and horns to make noise After several requests from police to move back from the area where local authorities have banned demonstrations officers used force to push them 200 metres (650 feet) away French President Emmanuel Macron shakes hands with local officials during a visit to Mathis a company specialised in large wooden buildings LUDOVIC MARIN / AFP On Tuesday evening also saw around 300 demonstrators voice their anger at his pension changes "People will make themselves heard but that's part of the moment," an aide to the president told reporters on Wednesday adding that there would be "expressions of anger most probably The scenes recall Macron's visits around France during the Yellow Vests protests of 2018-19 when the head of state was frequently confronted by angry hecklers or protesters He was slapped in the face in 2021 by a 28-year-old unemployed medieval history enthusiast during a visit to a small town in southeastern France After Wednesday's visit to a construction company in Muttersholtz Macron is set to visit a school in the South on Thursday Lecture du Monde en cours sur un autre appareil Vous pouvez lire Le Monde sur un seul appareil à la fois Ce message s’affichera sur l’autre appareil Parce qu’une autre personne (ou vous) est en train de lire Le Monde avec ce compte sur un autre appareil Vous ne pouvez lire Le Monde que sur un seul appareil à la fois (ordinateur En cliquant sur « Continuer à lire ici » et en vous assurant que vous êtes la seule personne à consulter Le Monde avec ce compte Que se passera-t-il si vous continuez à lire ici Ce dernier restera connecté avec ce compte Vous pouvez vous connecter avec votre compte sur autant d’appareils que vous le souhaitez mais en les utilisant à des moments différents Nous vous conseillons de modifier votre mot de passe Votre abonnement n’autorise pas la lecture de cet article merci de contacter notre service commercial During the confinement period, you can access PSG TV Premium for free and enjoy all this season's match videos.

From the chestnut-scented air to strolling alongside the banks of the river underneath twinkling fairy lights with a piping hot wine cradled in hand. Strasbourg is certainly one of the top places to visit in Europe at the end of the year. Read our ultimate Strasbourg at Christmas guide. Located just a half-hour drive away from Strasbourg is the sleepy Alsatian town Obernai which (typical of the region) is filled with timber-framed candy houses and centred around its central market square a beautiful Christmas market envelopes the town Obernai’s festive market is particularly renowned for its foodie delights Christmas in Obernai offers its visitors the perfect opportunity to taste local produce and specialties of the region Want to learn more about Christmas market foods in Europe Often referred to as the cradle of the Alsace textile industry it’s hard not to miss the gleaming modern factories when heading into Thann by car the tiny town of Thann can be found close to the borders with both Switzerland and Germany and has a population of just under eight thousand residents you’ll soon discover a myriad of twinkling Christmas lights and decorations including a decorated ‘tree tunnel’ which leads to an abundance of market stalls The market stalls sell artisan goods and wares, knitted hats, gloves and scarves. In terms of food, vendors serve dishes like the traditional Spätzle (pasta served with a creamy lardon sauce), as well as crêpes and plenty of vin chaud! Read our guide on Christmas in Thann here. If Christmas were a place, it would be Colmar this French fairytale town best known for its abundance of timber-framed houses and rich medieval history is decked out with decorations come Christmastime there’s a wealth of festive events to be enjoyed Consistently ranked as one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe the city is transformed into a delightful extravaganza of twinkling lights and hundreds of traditional wooden-style chalet stalls Though wonderful to visit during the daytime when a dazzling display of lights illuminates the city and its many canals transforming Colmar into a true Christmas paradise.  but the most notable are those of the concerts Highlights include performances throughout the Christmas period at Saint Matthieu’s church and even a Youth Symphony Orchestra concert Visitors can also enjoy ice skating at Place Rapp, which is surrounded by a forest of fir trees. This forest is the Christmas Tree Market of the town and where visitors can peruse all the trees that are yet to be collected by a local to take home for decorating! Read our guide on how to visit Colmar at Christmas. One of the more alternative Christmas Markets in the Alsace region is that of Guebwiller the town has hosted ‘Blue Christmas’ or ‘Noël Bleu’ as it is so-called in French The market takes its name to commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of its ceramist Théodore Deck. Many of the town’s key landmarks and attractions are illuminated in blue bathing the entirety of the settlement in an azure glow There are two distinctive locations for the Christmas Markets in Guebwiller, though they are generally listed as a single event and can be reached within a few minutes walk of one another. While one is smaller and lies in the shadow of the famed ‘blue church,’ the other is a much larger affair, centred around a central ice skating rink. Read our guide to Christmas in Guebwiller. surprisingly large and a little off the beaten path Kayersberg’s Christmas market illuminates alleyways and brings this Alsace destination to life Kaysersberg is a dreamy little town which is best known for its location along the Alsatian wine route Its moniker means “Mountain of the Emperor” in German the entirety of the pastel-hued timber-framed settlement becomes a haven for Christmas festivities While some Alsatian Christmas markets have pretty long and storied histories that of Kaysersberg is nowhere near as long and there has only been an annual Christmas Market in town since 1987 the Christmas Market has been run by the association ‘Noël à Kaysersberg’ The group’s main aim is to spread the Christmas spirit and create the kind of Christmas Market which rivals even the best of Europe up to 300,000 visitors are welcomed into Kaysersberg to enjoy the lights purchase souvenirs and indulge in local food and drink Each year, 30 craftspeople are carefully selected by the municipality to sell their wares. You’ll find plenty of unique souvenirs and trinkets, including wooden toys, handwoven fabric products, and artisanal food and drink. Read our Christmas in Kaysersberg guide. Found nearby to Guebwiller is the charming settlement of Mullhouse this Alsatian town is a true delight come Christmastime and the main market in town (lying in the shadow of the grand Cathedral) is presided over by a magnificent Ferris wheel which you can go on to admire the market from above what makes the market at Mulhouse truly unique is that a special ‘Christmas fabric’ is produced each year and you can even purchase this fabric by the metre The Christmas cups for Vin Chaud are decorated with the fabric pattern and it can be found across the city adorning chalets and other spaces For those who are seeking to venture a little off the beaten tourist track when it comes to the classic ‘Marchés de Noël’ and festive events in the Alsace region there is perhaps no better place to head to than the delightful town of Eguisheim So authentic is the market to be found at Eguisheim that it’s been awarded the label of ‘Christmas Cities and Village’ (Villes et Villages de Noël in French) thanks to the outstanding quality and ambience of the stalls and decorations on offer in this tiny Alsace town.  there are around thirty market stalls spread across several venues in the town centre All are within a few minutes walk of one another, and the rest of the town is decorated with thousands of twinkling lights and festive decorations, meaning that there are plenty of photo opportunities! Read our guide on Christmas in Eguisheim. One of the more unusual Christmas Markets in the Alsace is to be found just a ten-minute drive or so away from Kaysersberg-Vignoble. Turckheim is a speck of a town where a handful of market stalls adorn the town’s centre Taking place throughout the Advent season each year (there’s even a life-sized picture advent calendar directly in front of the town hall), the market stalls themselves vend local products and are housed against the backdrop of tiny cartoon-like timber-framed stalls Sélestat boasts a historical heritage as being the “cradle of the Christmas Tree” thanks to the fact it’s home to the first written mention of one in 1521 This tiny Alsace town is a little off the beaten path but well worth visiting for its rich cultural heritage and cute timber-framed homes Though I would not particularly go out of your way to visit the Christmas Market here there are a few festive activities to enjoy and the town itself (like all of the Alsace) exudes festive warmth and seasonal joy in its own right Anywhere from learning how to make Christmas regional treats to marvelling at the decorations and the multitude of fir trees that deck out the town.
