Le 1521: the Winter Guinguette

Le 1521 is a pop-up winter guinguette designed to be a real hub of activity at the heart of the Sélestat Christmas Market.

Three shipping containers transformed into elegant contemporary chalets, a cosy courtyard lit up with fairy lights, a Swedish torch, acoustic concerts, family entertainment, Alsatian specialities and moments of togetherness make the 1521 much more than just a place to socialise: it’s an unmissable destination where people come to experience the Christmas spirit.
