The northern French town Béthune (62 Pas de Calais) takes on a decidedly Festive atmosphere from 29 November to 28 December 2008 when it becomes La Cité Noel (Christmas Town).
Another city with a Grand Place in which to stage the Christmas Market and other festivities such as the skating rink, sleigh rides and a concert entitled “Father Christmas Sings the Blues”!?
