So I may be entitled to be of some help to you. "Christmas Market" is definitely a thing to see in Strasbourg and Kaysersberg (south of Strasbourg, near Colmar, which is also an attractive town). It is more or less touristic but nontheless enjoyable to visitors. Another town to visit is Riquevihr, a lovable medieval town famous for wine. I am sure you will find yoursel in wonderland. Bring lots of film and fast lenses to capture night scenes with romantic illumunation. Never miss fois gras d'Alsace with Gewurztraminer (vendange tardive is my preference). Try to avoid restaurants in "centre ville" for tourists if you know several French words. If you are interested in more info, contact me privately.
