From December 1st to 24th, every evening at 5 pm
Every evening at 5pm, little light carriers accompany the lamplighter. They leave from the back of the Corps de Garde, cross the medieval garden, light the Advent wreath candle to open a flap of the Advent Calendar.
Once the flap is open, a mysterious voice tells a short story about the Saint of the day or the image that has just been unveiled.
On certain days, in order to immerse you a little more in the story or to prolong the enchantment of the moment, this ceremony is accompanied by a specific animation.
Thus, each window allows you to discover the religious heritage, the rites and customs of Alsatian Christmas as well as the legendary characters of our region.
After the opening, the little light bearers go to the top of the staircase of the Town Hall to look for a star and place it in front of the cot in the medieval garden.
