Langres is adorned with its Christmas colors. The decorations and illuminations have been in place since the end of November, the businesses are in tune and, little by little, the magic of Christmas invades people's minds. Yesterday, Wednesday December 4, Place Diderot, still under construction, benefited from the addition of the latest decorative elements (notably winter flowers). The inauguration, tomorrow Friday December 6, Saint Nicholas Day, of the brand new Place Diderot will mark the launch of the first big weekend of Christmas activities.
From 6 p.m., and after the speeches and the cutting of the symbolic inauguration ribbon, a show will take place on the brand new renovated square: “Variations on the flame”, by the Salamandre company.

The City's traditional Christmas market, on the other hand, will ultimately not take place this Saturday. “Due to the unfavorable weather forecast for this Saturday, December 7, in particular with potentially dangerous gusts of wind, the City of Langres has decided, for the safety of visitors, to cancel the Christmas market,” said the municipality. . Sunday December 8, however, is not affected: “The market will indeed take place on Sunday December 8, at the scheduled times, that is to say from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., in the courtyard of the Diderot college. »
Finally, the associations will not be left out, like the Friends of Notre-Dame-de-Brevoines and the Vallée de La Bonnelle, who will prepare their large Christmas tree on rue de la Parcheminerie on Saturday morning, or the choir Montclair, which will offer its traditional Christmas concert, Sunday, at 5:30 p.m., in the Saint-Martin church.
