‘So British’ Christmas village
For this fourth edition, the Christmas Village of Enghien-les-Bains stepped up its creativity with monumental decorations. CRYSTAL proposed and created a 45-metre-long fairy street with house façades, shop window displays decorated by children in the city’s activity clubs, bow windows, lampposts and more. The ‘oh-so-British’ atmosphere delighted young and old alike. An ice rink and toboggan runs offered a taste of snow sports while the wooden pub invited visitors to warm up. Mulled wine and pretzels were, of course, on the agenda.
