Dear Sir or Madam,
Every year, in December, the City of Strasbourg organizes a traditional Christmas Market, an event that transforms the city to give way to festivities, fairy and the “meaning of sharing”.
Traditionally, Christmas in Strasbourg gives also the opportunity to discover the traditions of another country, with the presence of one country as guest of honour. In 2008, as France has the honour to preside the Council of the European Union, Strasbourg would like go further and with the assistance of the EUROCITIES network invite one or two craftsmen from the 27 member countries, to set up a village that present the handcraft of the countries of the EU.
I’m very honoured to send you the presentation of the Christmas Market in its 2008 version, as well as a pre-registration form and the rules of participation in the Christmas Market for the craftsmen, who would like to present and sell their product from November, 29 to December, 31 2008.
Please take into consideration that if possible we would need a feedback before September, 1.
The European and International Relations office is available for any further information.
Many thanks for the support that you will give us to present the handcraft of your country.
Yours faithfully, Sarah Tiefenauer-Linardon European and International Relations Department City of Strasbourg
