FÊTES DE LA SAINT-NICOLAS

Saint Nicolas, patron saint of Lorraine, is part of Lorraine's history and traditions. Saint Nicholas festivities begin at the end of November. Saint Nicholas visits schools to congratulate well-behaved children with gingerbread and chocolates. The month-long festivities include street performances, events, workshops, concerts, theater, Christmas markets, local food tastings, artists' exhibitions and more. The highlight is a magnificent parade of floats created by Nancy and its surrounding area, as well as a sound and light show.
